The Energy Efficiency working group will focus on product lifetime improvements, product efficiency and improved performance, carrying out a series of communication activities including the gathering of testimonials and positive case studies, and the development of a lexicon and infographic.

The Society & Economy working group also presented an ambitious action plan including a series of educational and awareness campaigns. Lastly, the Communication working group shared its progress on the update and population of the UEIL website, as well as a couple of initiatives related to the collection of members’ sustainability journeys.

The Committee will meet again on the 29^th of April.
