CitySwitch Green Office is a national tenant energy efficiency program. Run in partnership between local councils and state government, CitySwitch Signatories are part of a national network of businesses that are combating rising energy bills and improving their day-to-day workplace operations.
  

    "CitySwitch provides excellent support to assist our organisation in energy
     efficiency initiatives and has helped promote discussions with our
     building manager. Opportunities to share and spread experiences are 
     invaluable in the sustainability space."

With a geographical reach representing approximately 70 per cent of Australia’s office space, the program works with tenants to improve office energy efficiency, thereby reducing the CO2 emissions that contribute to global warming. One of the main reasons for choosing this way to bring about environmental action, is that tenants can influence up to 50 per cent of total energy use in office buildings.  Find out more about CitySwitch Green Office >
