Over 120 Chinese Producers Attend BEPI Launch

08 Feb, 2015,BEPI
BEPI was officially launched in China this week with four well-attended producer workshops. Over 120 producers in Shanghai, Xiamen, Shenzhen and Hong Kong were guided on how to use BEPI and how BEPI is tailored to their production operations. The business value of BEPI was also highlighted; from reducing production costs and risk of pollution fines to improved reputation and buyer-supplier relationships. A key element of each workshop was the on-site technical support provided through BEPI. The workshops included technical examples of production performance improvement, including energy and water efficiency, to improved chemical storage and waste management.

BEPI Managing Director Stuart Harker commented, “The key to the success of these workshops has been teaming the practical support and beneficial outcomes of BEPI to provide a relevant environmental management system on the factory floor. By demonstrating how BEPI supports both businesses and operational performance we have received a fantastic response from producers and FTA members alike. It has been great to kick-off BEPI in China this week. I welcome the producers we have met to BEPI and encourage further FTA members to use BEPI which is now available to them.”
