Strengthened consumer relationships

ENERGY STAR Canada promotes energy efficiency, making it easier for Canadians to choose energy-efficient options and save money on energy bills. When consumers are in the market for a new product, they might recall seeing your business or organization announced as a winner in media, on ENERGY STAR Canada’s social media accounts, or by spotting the ENERGY STAR Canada Award Winner symbol when scrolling on your website.

Company values

Consumers increasingly choose to do business with companies that share their values, and environmental concerns are top of mind for many Canadians.

It’s a great way demonstrate your values to your customer base.
