EU4Environment Action funded by the European Union is looking for Small and Medium-sized manufacturing Enterprises (SMEs) to become RECP Demonstration Companies and participate in the implementation of the RECP methodology in Azerbaijan.

The focus of improvements for the selected companies will be in the fields of energy, use of raw materials and supplies, water efficiency, and waste management.
The expected benefits for the participating SMEs are to:
The selected Demonstration Companies teams will be provided with RECP in-plant-assessments and technical visits from the RECP Experts, following the RECP methodology.

This involves data analysis and assessing inefficiencies, technical, economic, and environmental evaluation of measures to reduce the negative environmental impact of the existing production practices, and support for the demonstration enterprises to improve their efficiency. This also includes training activities for the companies’ staff, the provision of a technical report on the assessment findings and identified measures, and the monitoring of the implemented measures in the demonstration companies.
