The European Union (EU)-Switch Garment Project marks an important milestone for the EU SWITCH Asia’s promotion of sustainable energy practices in the garment sector in Cambodia.

The three agencies will jointly make efforts to promote sustainability and energy efficiency in the country’s garment sector, according to Cambodian media reports.

The project is being implemented by GGGI with Geres and the Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia (GMAC).

The aim is to implement the ‘Model Green Factory Programme’ with a monitoring and verification scheme. This includes energy management practices and reporting, energy audits on performance standards, training factories to go green and increasing investment in sustainable energy.
