This programme seeks to promote sustainable value chains between Asia and the EU while contributing to local economic recovery and a more competitive, environmentally friendly economy. The initiative focuses on reducing the carbon and environmental footprint of key economic sectors, both within Asia and in connection with European markets. It encourages businesses to adopt greener industrial processes, circular production methods, and bio-based solutions. By fostering international standards and low-carbon business models, the programme aims to integrate Asian MSMEs into sustainable global supply chains.
