Copenhagen Commitment: a pledge from Europe’s energy efficiency, construction and renovation industry
At Renovate Europe Day 2025, the Renovate Europe Campaign launched the Copenhagen Commitment and delivered it to Dan Jørgensen, European Commissioner for Energy and Housing.
Supported by more than 70 organisations and industries from across Europe’s energy efficiency, construction and renovation value chain, the Copenhagen Commitment is a united pledge to accelerate the delivery of technologies, investments, products and skills that will make Europe’s buildings efficient, affordable and future-proof.
The sector has already invested billions in new production facilities and is ready to do more, which requires close collaboration and regulatory stability to guide investments and planning. With this commitment, the industry stands ready to:
- Invest in manufacturing and local jobs
- Innovate with integrated renovation solutions
- Collaborate across sectors to scale up affordable building renovation
In 2026, the European Commission will present a new post-2030 energy efficiency framework: a crucial opportunity to set objectives that give the industry the predictability it needs to plan, invest and deliver at scale.
