As part of the implementation of the Switch Garment (EU-Switch Asia) and VETHIC (AFD) Project in Cambodia which aims at increasing competitiveness and decreasing environmental impact towards sustainable production in the Cambodian garment industry, Geres developed Case Studies to demonstrate the benefits of adopting more sustainable practices in key equipment in garment factories in Cambodia.
These Case Studies are based on detailed assessments Geres conducted in 4 factories that implemented Energy Efficiency or Renewable Energy opportunities following recommendations from walkthrough energy audits provided under Switch Garment Project.
