The changes in land use and higher urban density will improve water, sanitation, and heating services delivery. 11

13 Egis and R20 sign an historic partnership for sustainable waste management On 5th December 2015, in Paris, an agreement was signed between Egis and R20, a non-governmental, non-profit organisation. The signing took place in the presence of Christophe Nuttall, Executive Director of R20, Terry Tammimen, Strategic Advisor of R20, Pierre-René Lemas, CEO of Caisse des Dépôts, and Nicolas Jachiet, Chairman and CEO of Egis. In parallel with the COP21, this agreement sealed a partnership that focuses on developing Waste to Energy projects in developing countries. Objective: a common fund for waste management The goal of the partnership between Egis and R20 is to create a pre-investment fund specializing in waste management. It entails preparing the different protagonists upstream of sustainable waste management (national and local governments, industry and investors) to take the decisions necessary to implement concrete projects. The pre-investment funds provide Egis and R20 with the means to 12 bring the sustainable waste management market to maturity in emerging and developing countries. To this end, the pre-investment fund will finance two concrete actions essential to market maturity: - A training programme for national officials and local decision-takers on the subject of waste management. The programme will revolve around three areas that are critical to taking decisions: the public policies needed for waste management, the existing technologies on the market today, the economic models and financial mechanisms necessary for the sustainability of a sustainable waste management project. - A feasibility study campaign in the cities deemed mature, in order to identify, develop, and structure projects that are likely to achieve the objectives in the eyes of public and private investors. In the light of the joint experience these two parties have on many waste treatment project opportunities (Algeria, the Maldives, Morocco, China), R20 and Egis share not only the same analyses, visions and goals, but also the same values about the economic opportunities included in waste management: promoting social values, active participation of the population, creation of direct and indirect jobs and safeguarding the environment, particularly through selective sorting, recycling and energy cogeneration. This approach is part of the Caisse des Dépôts long-term commitment to the environment and energy transition.
