Bill Clinton said, ‘Climate change is a global problem that requires local action. The businesses, banks and cities partnering with my foundation are addressing the issue of global warming because it’s the right thing to do, but also because it’s good for their bottom line.
‘They’re going to save money, make money, create jobs and have a tremendous collective impact on climate change — all at once. I’m proud of them for showing leadership on the critical issue of climate change, and I thank them for their commitment to this new initiative.
Joe Puishys, president of Honeywell Building Solutions, says, ‘Honeywell is proud to put our energy-management experience to work as art of this global effort. Working together, we can help cities cut their energy costs, create more efficient facilities and reduce their environmental impact.’
Nearly half of Honeywell’s product portfolio company-wide is liked to energy efficiency, including smart controls for buildings and houses.
