As a collaborative platform, RECEIC aims to facilitate knowledge-sharing, best practice sharing, and sustainable practices among the participating industries. The coalition has three guiding principles – Partnerships for impact, Technology Cooperation and Finance for scale.

The RECEIC will be launched by the Hon’ Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Shri Bhupender Yadav in the presence of the Commissioner on Environment from the European Union and Honorable Ministers from Canada, France, Italy, Denmark, Mauritius and the United Arab Emirates.
