ENERGY STAR® is more than a label awarded for energy efficiency. It is a voluntary partnership between business, government, and others united in the pursuit of a common goal: to protect our environment for future generations by changing to energy-efficient practices today.

Businesses can use ENERGY STAR to improve efficiency, enhance profits, and create competitive advantages that shine in the eyes of shareholders and customers alike.

ENERGY STAR’s mission is to help businesses protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. Because a strategic approach can produce twice the savings – for your bottom line and the environment – EPA’s ENERGY STAR partnership offers a proven energy management strategy that helps in measuring current energy performance, setting goals, tracking savings, and rewarding improvements.

ENERGY STAR provides a host of technical assistance tools to make your business, building, and processes more energy efficient, as well as marketing opportunities so you can let your customers know that you are working hard to save energy and improve the environment. Any business, large or small, non-profit organization or government, can participate.

ENERGY STAR technical and outreach tools will help your business:

  • Assess current energy performance and set goals
  • Create and implement an energy efficiency action plan
  • Evaluate your performance
  • Communicate results and gain recognition for them

By integrating ENERGY STAR into your ongoing management processes, you can improve the efficiency and productivity of your business and employees, save energy and money, and take positive steps toward helping your bottom line and the environment.
