We are thrilled to announce our expanded Sustainable Champion Initiative!

In October 2022, EUROCHAMTT partnered with the United Nations (Trinidad and Tobago) office to recognise businesses with sustainability initiatives.

These businesses have implemented policy changes and made investments with a view to contributing not only economically to their businesses, but also positively to the environment and society and maintaining high standards of governance with respect to the environment and societal impact of their operations.

In response to the need by business for a deeper understanding of national and global sustainability-related agreements and action, EUROCHAMTT has expanded the scope of its sustainability initiative. Our support will go beyond the self-assessment and awards and will support businesses to get started on their journey to policy change and strategy for identifying, measuring and reporting impact. We will also continue to recognize businesses making progress and provide opportunities to show case those businesses.
