Set Goals with ENERGY STAR

Leading manufacturers are setting goals for improving energy efficiency across their businesses through the use of EPA's ENERGY STAR Guidelines for Energy Management. These guidelines assist our partners in setting goals to drive energy improvements and to help these companies reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The following list showcases corporate-wide goals that ENERGY STAR partners are pursuing to save energy and prevent global climate change.

You, too, can share your energy efficiency goals. Get started by becoming an ENERGY STAR partner. If you are an ENERGY STAR partner interested in sharing your company's goals, submit them to energystrategy@energystar.gov.

ENERGY STAR Partner Energy efficiency goal Progress to goal
3M Improve global energy efficiency by 20% between 2006 and 2010 with 2005 as the baseline year. Efficiency will be calculated by dividing 3M net sales by 3M total energy use. Through 2008, energy efficiency has been improved by 19.2%.
Allergan, Inc. Reduce the amount of electrical energy used by 5% from 2006 to 2010 using 2005 as the baseline year both on an absolute and normalized to square footage basis. Electrical energy consumed per square foot has decreased by 22% between 2005 and 2008.
