- It’s one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to fight climate change and save money.
- These CEOs want to prove that being green is also good for business.

- From 2006–2022, government buildings got 18% more efficient.
- How? Smart policies, strong companies, and a culture of innovation.

Why Now?
- The world agreed at COP29 to double energy efficiency progress by 2030.
- This CEO pledge helps turn those climate promises into action.
