Strategic Alliances & Coalitions

For more than 20 years, CSG has worked with Energy Federation Inc. (EFI) of Westborough, MA—a leading national wholesaler and distributor of energy-efficiency products—including lighting, water and energy-conservation materials. EFI serves utilities, state agencies, builders, and contractors for residential demand-side management programs and distributes a wide range of ENERGY STAR® products.

EFI is our sister organization and oldest alliance. EFI & CSG share some of the same leadership. Senior members of both companies, including our CEO Steve Cowell and their CEO Brad Steele, participate on the board of directors for both organizations. This allows our two companies to work hand-in-hand to deliver a wide range of energy efficient lighting programs, and other clean energy initiatives.

CSG partners with the National SAVE Energy Coalition. This coalition, formed in 2008 with CSG playing a leadership role, is comprised of more than 160 member organizations committed to federal public policy that promotes clean, sustainable, efficient energy. The coalition was successful in helping to make energy efficiency a centerpiece of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and to help secure funding for low-income home weatherization, state energy initiatives, and energy efficiency/conservation investments.

CSG is also a founding member of Efficiency First and supports the Home Performance industry through this nationwide organization committed to a smart, market-driven approach to reducing residential energy use and creating green-collar jobs for American workers.

By pursuing strategic alliances with organizations that share our passion for energy efficiency, clean energy technologies and the environment, we can deliver solutions that make sense – for people and our planet.
