Agreements to promote certain ENERGY STAR qualified products were established with government agencies in various countries. These partnerships are intended to unify voluntary energy-efficiency labeling programs in major global markets and make it easier for partners to participate by providing a single set of energy-efficiency qualifications, instead of a patchwork of varying country-specific requirements.
