As businesses and employers in Connecticut, we recognize the risk and opportunities that climate change poses to our business operations and profitability, and we understand the transformative economic opportunity that exists as the state transitions to a clean energy economy.
Connecticut businesses have the opportunity to lead the way to create an energy future that is clean, reliable, and affordable.
CT ENERGY FUTURE is an initiative of the Nature Conservancy Connecticut and the Connecticut Sustainable Business Council. The initiative has engaged business leaders from a range of sectors to exchange ideas and explore pathways to clean energy solutions – such as offshore wind – that are reliable and cost-effective. The result was the creation of Clean Energy Policy Principles to help shape the public policy landscape as Connecticut ramps up its commitment to energy that is clean, reliable, and affordable.
Connecticut is poised to be a leader in the clean energy transition. By embracing offshore wind and climate solutions, businesses can not only contribute to a healthier planet but also seize new growth opportunities, driving the state’s economy forward.
Offshore wind energy represents a transformative opportunity for Connecticut. With our vast coastal resources, we can generate clean, renewable power that reduces reliance on fossil fuels while creating thousands of local jobs in manufacturing, construction, and maintenance.
Investing in offshore wind and clean energy solutions ensures a more stable and cost-effective energy supply for businesses. It protects against volatile fuel prices and supports long-term energy reliability, helping companies stay competitive.
Taking bold climate action doesn’t just help protect our environment—it drives innovation, boosts competitiveness, and creates new markets. By adopting sustainable practices, businesses can reduce operating costs, improve efficiency, and meet the growing demand for environmentally responsible products and services.
Businesses that lead the way in clean energy adoption and climate action position themselves as innovators and responsible stewards, enhancing their brand reputation and appeal to customers, partners, and investors who prioritize sustainability.
