Very encouraging news for Simoshi and similar projects currently implementing improved cook stove activities linked to carbon finance.
The Global Alliance for Clean Cook Stoves (GACC) recently announced that Marks & Spencer has provided funds for 40,000 improved cook stoves to be manufactured, sold and maintained by local entrepreneurs in Bangladesh.
"For M&S, supporting clean cook stove adoption with offset purchases is smart business. The need to act on climate change is urgent, and cook stove projects offer the unique opportunity to advance multiple sustainability goals simultaneously, including empowering women, creating economic opportunities for communities, and improving access to clean energy. The offsets have also helped M&S better achieve their broader sustainability goals including climate neutrality, supply-chain resilience, and stakeholder engagement".
We celebrate the great initiative from M&S and the continuous efforts from GACC to promote clean cooking projects around the world.
