Bosch Home Appliances Earns 2024 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year Award for the Fourth Year in a Row

Bosch Home Appliances is proud to announce it has received the 2024 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. As the highest level of EPA recognition a manufacturer can receive, the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award is given to businesses that demonstrate superior leadership, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to environmental protection through energy efficiency.

"Bosch Home Appliances is honored to receive the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award for the fourth consecutive year. Sustainability is our driving force, embedded in our innovations to help consumers save water and energy, and reduce food waste," said Anne-Marie Nealy, Head of Bosch Brand Marketing for Region North America for home appliances. "As leaders in the industry, we're committed to reducing our environmental impact through energy-efficient appliances and in 2020 the Bosch Group became the first global industrial enterprise to make its own operations carbon neutral.ⁱ"

By designing some of the most energy- and water-efficient appliances available, Bosch is helping Americans reduce their environmental impact while caring for their home. Bosch believes energy-efficient appliances should be achievable for a wide range of consumers, offering ENERGY STAR certified products at various price points across categories.

ENERGY STAR award winners lead their industries in the production, sale, and adoption of energy-efficient products, homes, buildings, services, and strategies. These efforts have saved more than 5 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity over the past 30 years.

"President Biden's Investing in America agenda creates unprecedented opportunity to build a clean energy economy, and private sector partners through programs like ENERGY STAR are leading the way," said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. "I congratulate this year's ENERGY STAR award winners for their innovation and leadership, in delivering cost-effective energy-efficient solutions that create jobs, address climate change, and contribute to a healthier environment for all."
