The Business Council for Sustainable Energy is an organization dedicated to implementing market-based approaches to reducing pollution and providing a diverse, secure mix of energy resources.

Founded in 1992 by senior executives in the natural gas, energy efficiency, electric utility, and renewable energy industries, the Council offers a distinct, business-oriented perspective on energy, environmental and sustainability issues.

The Council also has an extensive global network through its sister organizations in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia. Together this network launched the International Council for Sustainable Energy in December 2007 in Bali, Indonesia -- creating a strategic alliance that represents clean energy companies and industry associations around the world.
