Project Partners
The ecological, social, economic and technological added value which the Swiss Climate Protection Initiative SCPI offers has convinced both private and public institutions. They support SENS International financially and in a consultative capacity.
The SDC
Thanks to extensive environmental and development impetuses, SENS International has been able to win the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) as a partner in its pioneering project. The SDC explains the reasons for its financial commitment to the Swiss Charter Project as follows:
«The SDC is committed to finding global solutions to help reduce the effects of climate change. The organisation supports innovative approaches that contribute to the reduction of emissions, adaptation to climate change, and the implementation of international legislation.
The SDC believes that climate protection projects implemented under the Swiss Charter have enormous potential to bring about change. These projects make a significant contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and slow down the depletion of the ozone layer. Projects under the Swiss Charter are therefore in line with the objectives of the Montreal and the Kyoto Protocol.
The requirements for climate protection projects established in the Swiss Charter are consistent with the SDC’s development policy goals: on the one hand, projects under the Swiss Charter create new job opportunities and generate sustainable employment at a variety of qualification levels. On the other hand they encourage global climate action partnerships between the public and private sectors in the area of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.»
For these reasons the SDC is making a considerable contribution towards supporting the first refrigerator recycling project in Cabreúva, to be carried out under the Swiss Charter in Brazil.
