Green Productivity was launched in 1994 in line with the 1992
Earth Summit recommendations that both economic development and
environmental protection would be key strategies for sustainable
development. With the support from the government of Japan the APO
introduced GP as a practical way to answer the challenge of sustainable
development.
The
objective of the APO's GP program is to enhance productivity and
simultaneously reduce the negative impacts on the environment. It
seeks to realize this objective by propagating GP consciousness. The
APO pledges to continue the progress in the Asia-Pacific Region and
through cooperation, extend GP to accelerate a growing green global
marketplace. |
