Mr. Tran Duc Cuong – Representative of Ninh Binh Industrial Management Board opened the training course
Opening the training course, Mr. Tran Duc Cuong – Representative of Management Board of Industrial Zones in Ninh Binh Province welcomed the presence of members of Project Management Unit; representatives of Industrial Zones Authority and representatives of enterprises in Khanh Phu and Gian Khau IZs in Ninh Binh attended. According to Tran Duc Cuong, in the past years, the application of Cleaner Production in Vietnam has achieved considerable success. However, the implementation of Cleaner Prodution in enterprises still existed due to limited awareness of enterprises about the benefits of Cleaner Production. The dissemination of Cleaner Production as well as the deployment of technical demonstration models encountered many difficulties. Many enterprises have not applied sustainable production methods to improve the competitive position of enterprises. Mr. Cuong hopes that through this course, as well as the RECP program that the project is carrying out locally, it will help businesses overcome the shortcomings that contribute to sustainable production and protect the environment.
