Duration: 1 hour
The Green Business Committee convened on Wednesday, 1 October 2025, to define its strategic priorities for 2025 and 2026. The key focus areas identified include: Rooftop Solar, Renewable Energy Certificates, the Cambodia Sustainable Finance Taxonomy, and Circular Economy and Waste Management. Among these, Rooftop Solar and Renewable Energy Certificates were highlighted as priority topics due to the ongoing implementation challenges faced by businesses.
The committee also explored opportunities for cross-committee collaboration, particularly with the Garment and Manufacturing Committee. This may involve the formation of informal joint working groups to address shared concerns, including regulations on textile products, circularity, waste management, and green energy.
Looking ahead, the committee plans to increase member engagement through both closed-door and public events. Two new initiatives are being developed:
- Monthly Green Talks – A small-group format where members can exchange best practices on various green business topics.
- Green Finance Breakfast Talks – Sessions aimed at integrating green finance into broader sustainable business practices.
Additionally, the committee intends to relaunch the Green Business Forum, tentatively scheduled for early next year.
On Tuesday, 14 October 2025, EuroCham Cambodia, in collaboration with the EuroCham Garment and Manufacturing Committee, successfully convened the 8th Environmental Garment Brands Meeting of Cambodia at EuroCham Cambodia Office.
This year’s agenda focused on the following key topics:
- Digitalization in the Garment Industry
- Circular Fashion Partnership (CFP) Cambodia
- Renewable Energy Certification
- Congestion at Sihanoukville Port
EuroCham recognizes the significant potential of Rooftop Solar (RTS) in supporting Cambodia’s green energy transition. However, current cost structures and limited incentives present challenges for companies seeking to invest in this area. To maximize the impact of renewable energy investments, it is essential that Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) gain international recognition through platforms such as I-Track, ensuring alignment with global Net Zero standards. By implementing these reforms, Cambodia will be better positioned to attract and retain European buyers with 2030 Net Zero commitments, strengthening the country’s competitiveness in the regional market.
Since its inception, the Environmental Garment Brands Meeting of Cambodia has been held eight times, serving as a valuable platform for constructive dialogue, the exchange of experiences, and the promotion of shared awareness and concerns among international brands operating within the garment sector.
