CGEM has launched a digital educational guide on decarbonisation for Moroccan companies with the support of the European Investment Bank (EIB), via its new EIB Global development arm, and the European Union. This project has been implemented under the EU Trade and Competitiveness Programme developed by the EIB with EU financial support.
The support is part of the objectives of the EU-Morocco Green Partnership signed in October 2022. It is a concrete demonstration of EU and EIB commitment to helping Morocco support businesses in their green transition.
A modular guide for Moroccan companies of all sizes and sectors
Drafted in cooperation with experts working on the Trade and Competitiveness Programme technical assistance operation, the scalable guide provides clear steps and concrete solutions to help companies of all sizes and sectors to cut their greenhouse gas emissions and move towards becoming carbon neutral. It also offers examples of good practices and testimonials from companies that have successfully completed their transition.
A simplified process organised around four themes
The decarbonisation guide proposes a simplified process tailored to the specific needs of companies, providing them with a better understanding of the key climate, regulatory and competition issues connected to decarbonisation. It introduces the training and technical assistance available to businesses to help them with carbon accounting, for example. It also identifies all appropriate funding programmes, while also providing case studies and examples of relevant technologies. Lastly, since decarbonisation is an ongoing process, the guide will be regularly updated with regulatory and technology developments, and also features a section on the certifications available, enabling companies to follow the latest progress in the field.
