The work of the ALC ties in closely with numerous multilateral initiatives on climate change mitigation and energy efficiency.  As a neutral third party in Asia, the ALC can help assure multilateral agencies that the lighting products they are using or promoting in their initiatives are of high quality and help conserve energy.  Partnering with the ALC makes it easier for international organizations to include lighting in energy-efficiency initiatives in Asia, and to engage with other major lighting stakeholders in the region.
