The ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry is a global
call-to-action for industrial sites to reduce their energy
intensity by 10 percent within 5 years. Any industrial site
can participate, and those that achieve this goal will earn
EPA recognition.
Learn more about eligibility, participation, and
recognition.
The global pandemic has impacted many manufacturing sites. Therefore the US EPA’s ENERGY STAR program is providing additional flexibility for facilities currently enrolled in the Challenge for Industry and for new plants interested in participating that have been negatively impacted by COVID-19.
More than 1,800 sites are participating, from companies including Colgate-Palmolive, Georgia-Pacific, Merck, Hanesbrands, General Motors, and CEMX , just to name a few.
See the full list of participants and promoters.
Think 10 percent in 5 years is too ambitious? More than 850 sites have already done it, with many logging 15%, 20% and even 30% reductions!
