Sparking decarbonization at scale.
Metrus is dedicated to accelerating and scaling climate action by removing financial barriers to energy efficiency and clean energy projects.
Ensuring a powerful impact.
Environmental performance is woven into each of our projects, which include a wide range of energy efficiency improvements that generate both electric and thermal energy savings. We also measure the efficiency of our investment portfolio in reducing CO2 using CarbonCount as a scoring tool.
Committed to a sustainable, low carbon future.
We are living in a pivotal time where investment, innovation, and decisive action can help secure a more efficient future. We are fully committed to driving progress and promoting these values through our alliances and partnerships.
$300 million
The Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Challenge is a partnership of businesses, manufacturers, cities, states, universities, and school districts committing to improve the energy efficiency of their buildings by at least 20% over 10 years. Metrus was one of the first financial allies to join this program. After exceeding our first two commitment goals, we’ve recently reupped our target to $300 million.
$200 million
The America Is All In initiative (formerly We Are Still In) is a diverse coalition of U.S. leaders who support halving U.S. emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero emissions by 2050. As part of this ongoing initiative, Metrus increased its financing commitment from $100 million of sustainable energy projects to $200 million and is now 43% of the way towards its new target.

In 2021, Metrus became a signatory to the internationally-recognized Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), publicly demonstrating our commitment to responsible investing, at a global level. We join an international cadre of investors and asset owners who believe that an economically efficient, sustainable global financial system is a necessity for long-term value creation

In 2023, Metrus joined Mission Efficiency in their pursuit to accelerate the transition towards energy efficient economies worldwide. Mission Efficiency is a collective of actions, commitments, and goals from a coalition of governments, organizations, and initiatives coming together to drive progress on energy efficiency, and Metrus is providing strategic support on key issues in the US.
$100 million
The Cool Coalition is a partnership of proactive governments, businesses, and civil society organizations that aim to accelerate progress toward efficient and climate-friendly cooling. Metrus joined the coalition in 2023 in order to promote the adoption of environmentally-friendly cooling technologies and to facilitate equipment upgrades through its Energy as a Service financing solution.
