Capacity Building of Regional Capabilities on Cleaner Production, Energy Efficiency and Environmental Management Systems

ICETT or the International Center for Environmental Technology Transfer was established in Japan to carry out the smooth transfer of Japan’s environmental conservation systems in order to contribute to the conservation of the global environment and the sustainable development of the world economy. In particular, ICETT implements training and technical guidance, research and development, surveys and provision of information, and activities intending to promote information exchange and raise public awareness.

IPCT- ITDI has partnered with ICETT and DOST regional offices to implement the Capacity Building of Regional Capabilities on Cleaner Production, Energy Efficiency and Environmental Management Systems (CBRC). CBRC aims to:

  1. Develop training modules on tools on cleaner production, energy efficiency and environmental management system that are applicable to SMEs
  2. Conduct trainings and workshops on the developed training modules
  3. Conduct CP assessments at participating SME facilities
  4. Document tangible and/or visual improvements of both environmental and economic performance of participating SME facilities
  5. Develop policy recommendations to national and local governments to enhance the promotion of CP, energy efficiency and EMS

The project has conducted four “Assessors’ Training on Cleaner Production” that trained 51 CP assessors in the National Capital Region, Region IV, VI and X. Moreover, 12 companies have been assisted on Cleaner Production Assessment. Four CP Seminars in the four pilot regions have also been conducted to disseminate the output of the project and create awareness on Cleaner Production for the top management of various companies in the regions.

The CBRC Project has also implemented the following activities:
