SIP EMPP Promotion Board, executor of SIP Land Resources and Environmental Protection Bureau (SIP-LREPB)'s Environmental Management Partners Program (EMPP), convened a meeting at Genway I-Park Convention Center, SIP on Jan 24, in an effort to further push on the program. A number of officials from local environmental management authorities, experts from SIP Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Association and representatives from the participating enterprises were present.

SIP-LREPB initiated the EMPP in August 2018 in a move to lend local enterprises a hand in environmental management during their production and operations. Last year, 20 SIP-LREPB staff and 30 EHS experts were paired with 60 pilot enterprises to help them detect loopholes in environmental management and figure out solutions. Statistics show that the program has helped address hundreds of problems so far.

At the event, a number of individuals and enterprises received awards for their outstanding performance under the program, and three enterprises shared their good practices in environmental management. Besides, a law professor from Soochow University expounded on laws on pollution prevention and control and corporate environmental credit rating to the enterprise representatives.
