Regan said: “We know it’s going to take all of us working together to tackle the climate crisis, and the 2022 ENERGY STAR award-winning partners are demonstrating what it takes to build a more sustainable future. These companies are showing once again that taking action in support of a clean energy economy can be good not only for the environment but also for business and customers.”
