Our associated partners cover a wide range of private companies, public associations and NGOs. Under the umbrella of a partnership agreement they engage themselves in the successful application of the Display® Campaign. On the one hand, the associations and organisations are partners that work at national level to promote the Campaign to their members and to assist them in its implementation. On the other hand, the private partners offer financial and know-how support and thus facilitate the practical implementation of the Display® Campaign and the improvement of energy and water performance of public buildings.

Association of Irish Energy Agencies

The Association of Irish Energy Agencies is an all-island body supporting the development and implementation of energy policy and best practice in an impartial and effective manner.

Dexia Group

Dexia Group was born in 1996 by the alliance between two prime stakeholders in the field of local public financing in Europe, i.e. Crédit Local de France and Crédit Communal de Belgique. Both institutions, as well as the Banque Internationale à Luxembourg (BIL), merged in 1999 into a single company listed on the stock exchange under the name of Dexia. This was one of the very first cross-border mergers in the banking sector in Europe.

End of 2005 Dexia adopted a new institutional motto “No achievement without lasting commitment”, which adds value to the Group’s roots, recalls its founding values – a sense of long-term activities and care for the general interest of all –, and reveal that the group is committed in a sustainable development policy (Sustainable Development Report 2005).

Being one of the 15 biggest financial corporations in the eurozone, Dexia is the world leader in public/project finance ; it is also a top retail bank in Belgium and Luxembourg, a recognized European stakeholder in investment management services e.g. in sustainable investment funds and an expert in financial markets.

SuisseEnergie for the municipalities

SuisseEnergie is the federal program dedicated to the promotion of the renewable energies and the rational use of energy. It will last until 2010.
With the label Cité de l’énergie® - european energy award® and under name "SuisseEnergie pour les communes", an attractive approach is proposed to the cities, the towns and the areas. Any commune can thus seize the occasion to develop programs and actions adapted to contribute concretely to the objectives of SuisseEnergie which are as follows:

 From here till 2010, to reduce by 10% the emissions due to the consumption of fossil energies.
 Within the same times, to limit to 5% the increase in consumption of electricity.
 To avoid any fall of the proportion of the consumption of hydroelectricity in spite of the opening of the market.
 To increase at least 1% (that is to say by 0,5 térawatthour) the part of renewable energies for electricity and 3% for the production of hot water.

The municipalities play an essential part in the implementation of the SuisseEnergie program. They must give the example to the population and SME by creating the essential conditions with the application of voluntary measures, for example in the field of renewable energies or that of mobility.

eCube: A green solution for business.

A green solution for the food and beverage industries has now arrived in the shape of the eCube. Invented by British engineers and patented globally, this small wax cube has been tested in-house and by independent organisations, and has been proven to reduce energy consumption by up to 33 per cent.
We estimate an eCube to every one of the commercial refrigeration units in the UK would save over a million tonnes in CO2 emissions.
