Activities in 2014-2016 and Achievements 10 2014 - 2015 - RECP assessment reports for 10 companies 2015 – 2016 – RECP assessment reports for 8 companies - ongoing

Key results of RECP assessments in 2014-2015RECP assessments revealed a considerable potential for improving the materials and energy use efficiency, environment and economic performance in Georgian companies RECP assessment teams involving the national experts, management and technical staff of the demonstration companies identified opportunities to save totally about 3.15 GWh energy (about 0.4 mln GEL) and 10,532 m3 water annually in 10 SME Total cost of RECP measures in all demonstration companies is estimated to 317,250 Euros with average payback period 1.9 years

Key findingsChallenges:Environmental problems in the enterprises are not fully understood and seen by the companiesMonitoring of resource use and environmental pollution, metering of water and energy use is not a common practice Environmental regulations related to industries have been poorly developedEnforcement of and compliance to existing environmental regulations is also poorVery few companies have adopted EMS

The economic crisis and financial instability hinders the investments in environmental improvements – companies are more focused on short term gains

SMEs face the problem of lacking their own financial resources or accessing appropriate financing for RECP investments (such as more efficient technology and machines)

Local capacities for developing bankable RECP investment proposals is poor

Key findingsOpportunitiesThere is a considerable potential for improving the busyness, reducing the environmental impact and enhancing the workers health and safety in Georgian enterprisesApproximation with the EU can provides an incentive for improving the environmental performance of Georgian companiesLonger term East-West cooperation is needed to build capacities and promote application of RECP in
