The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) has said it is set to support green manufacturing to reduce the negative impacts of production activities on the environment.
President of the Association, Otunba Francis Meshioye, who made the remark in Lagos, during the maiden edition of MAN’s Strategic Dialogue Session on Environment and Green Manufacturing in partnership with Natural Eco Capital, described green manufacturing as the current global phenomenon, which relevance in today’s business world remains enormous.
He said the Association was committed to encouraging and guiding its members to make significant progress in that regard. To achieve this objective, he said MAN in January, created the Environment and Green Manufacturing Unit with the responsibility for creating awareness among MAN members on climate change issues and Environmental Management System (EMS).
He noted that the unit in providing members with strategies and necessary information needed to drive environmental sustainability was set to collaborate with relevant institutions and international agencies achieve its mandates. “This novel unit amongst other things, would guide and encourage the seamless transition of members’ manufacturing processes through the assistance of relevant agencies and organisations to an eco-friendlier production environment.
