Invest in energy efficiency 

Improving energy efficiency is a fast and cost-effective way to strengthen businesses and economies. By using energy more efficiently and investing in renewable energy, companies can lower operating costs, reduce exposure to fuel price shocks, increase competitiveness, and cut emissions at the same time. 

Design products that last longer 

Designing products to be more durable, repairable and reusable creates new opportunities for businesses and consumers alike. Circular business models can reduce waste, lower costs, improve resource efficiency and meet growing demand for more sustainable products. 

Reduce food waste 

Improving forecasting, storage, inventory management and food redistribution can help businesses lower costs, strengthen resilience and meet growing demand for more sustainable products and services. Food loss and waste costs the global economy around US$1 trillion each year, yet every US$1 invested in reducing food waste can generate up to US$14 in returns. 

Unlock the value of methane mitigation 

By detecting and repairing methane leaks, oil and gas companies can reduce emissions, strengthen operations and recover natural gas that would otherwise be lost — turning waste into economic value.  Cutting methane emissions is one of the fastest ways to slow near-term warming, while also strengthening energy security. 

Increase transparency and improve climate reporting 

Reporting climate progress helps businesses identify risks, attract investment and strengthen their long-term competitiveness in a rapidly changing global economy. 

Lead the transition to low-carbon innovation 

Shifting toward cleaner energy and low-carbon technologies creates new economic opportunities. Companies that invest early in clean innovation can strengthen competitiveness, reduce long-term risks and position themselves to thrive in the transition to a low-carbon economy. 

Create the workforce of the future  

Training employees in green skills, businesses can build a future-ready workforce and bolster their competitiveness in rapidly changing global markets.
