Call to Set a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Target of at least 90% by 2040
The EU should set a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target of at least 90% by 2040. This is not only a critical milestone on the path to climate neutrality, it’s also a powerful driver of the EU’s competitiveness, economic growth, energy security and resilience.
By accelerating the clean energy transition and improving energy efficiency, this target will directly support the EU’s strategy to strengthen energy security for both citizens and businesses, while stimulating the investments and innovations needed for a competitive and prosperous future.
We’re proud to stand with over 150 leading businesses and investors calling on EU policymakers to set a bold, clear course that empowers business action and long-term growth.

In a fast-changing political and economic environment, 2025 was a year of continued efforts to strengthen security, stability, and competitiveness for European businesses.
Throughout the year, our work demonstrated that energy efficiency is not only essential to achieving climate goals, but also a key driver of innovation, energy independence and sustainable long-term growth across Europe.
Strong engagement with policymakers, combined with the successful organisation of the 4th European Energy Efficiency Day, highlighted the importance of collaboration and dialogue in advancing shared objectives. Partnerships across sectors and institutions remained central to delivering impact and shaping effective energy policies.
Looking ahead to 2026, we will intensify our efforts to secure the regulatory certainty that can accelerate the energy transition, while providing businesses with the investment confidence they need and strengthening Europe’s competitiveness.
