EUROPAPA nitrile gloves will continue to be a ClimatePartner-certified product for the period from March 2025 to March 2026.
This time we supported a climate project, which provides microloans for solar lamps + water filters at the Countrywide in India.
The project enables women microentrepreneurs in rural areas of India to access funding for solar lamps and water filters and helps to build supply chains in remote regions. The women use these products for both their businesses (e.g. solar lamps to extend the opening hours of a small shop) and their homes (e.g. providing clean drinking water for family members). The money saved on fuel enables the women to repay the loans. Organised in self-help groups, the women meet regularly to support each other, monitor satisfaction, and encourage the use of clean energy products. Each group has a clean energy leader who manages after-sales support in case the products need servicing or repair. Some women work as clean energy demonstrators, travelling to nearby villages to educate others about the benefits of the new products. In this way, they enable more women to take the first step on their clean energy journey.
