ECORED: An Alliance that Promotes Sustainable Practices

The Red Nacional de Apoyo Empresarial a la Protección Ambiental (ECORED) (National Entrepreneurial Network for Environmental Protection) – is an umbrella organization that brings together many representatives from the Dominican Republic’s private sector who work to promote sustainable practices and social responsibility efforts.  Network members are convinced that sound sustainable practices, along with social responsibility, contribute to the profitability of their respective companies. This is the goal of ECORED, to encourage such projects as the Inclusive Recycling Program, which adds value to the country’s recycling chain process.  Through this particular initiative ECORED has improved the working conditions of the informal recyclers by providing them with technical assistance and training.
