DIRECTORY ENTRY: CLASP

Our mission is to serve as the primary resource and voice for appliance, lighting and equipment energy efficiency worldwide.

In the fight against climate change, energy efficiency standards and labels (S&L) offer the potential for carbon reduction, consumer savings, cost-effective energy-conservation policy, and greenhouse gas emissions abatement.

CLASP envisions a world in which appliances, equipment and lighting are built for maximum energy efficiency and minimal contribution to global climate change.

CLASP achieves its vision of reducing the environmental impacts of energy-using products through the following actions and channels:

• We respond to the assistance needs of S&L practitioners in targeted countries and regions.
• We provide technical assistance to national governments.

• We engage in capacity building and training of local partners.

• We assemble project teams from diverse and highly-qualified organizations.

• We collaborate with policy makers and members of industry alike.

• We distribute information on S&L best practice.

Our organization is guided by the values of transparency, openness, inclusion, and collaboration.
