Businesses are leading efforts and finding new ways to reduce the resource-intensity of their operations, through such means as ambitious energy efficiency upgrades and proactive water stewardship. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation Corporate Citizenship Center seeks to:

  • Increase understanding of key issues such as around energy and water efficiencies and the energy-water nexus;
  • Promote innovative approaches of how companies are solving energy and water challenges within their operations and throughout their supply chains;
  • Convene business, government, nonprofit leaders and other stakeholders to accelerate and scale innovative solutions to energy and water challenges that deliver business and environmental benefits.
