Cleantechnology or ‘Cleantech’ is the use of technologies that support increased productivity or profitability while also reducing resource consumption or pollution.

Cleantech is comprised of eight main sectors:

  • Water Management
  • Clean Energy
  • Building Design
  • Building Products
  • Waste Innovation
  • Circular Economy
  • Cleantech Transport
  • Sustainable Business


Clean technologies cover economically viable products, services and processes that harness renewable materials and energy sources, dramatically reduce the use of natural resources and cut or eliminate emissions and waste. Cleantech can support increased productivity and profitability.

Business can be a key driver for climate action and reducing climate risk and we encourage business practices that are sustainable, profitable and compliant with the ever-increasing sustainability requirements. Advocating for the support of cleantech and sustainable solutions and providers is a part of what we do.
