CLEANERPRODUCTIONAGREEMENT
CLEANER PRODUCTIONAGREEMENT
The Cleaner Production Agreementis a sustainability standard createdby the Government of Chile. Theyhave created this mechanism forseveral industrial sectors, andrecently also for Higher EducationInstitutions.
Around 20 Universities signed it, ofwhich 14 complied with it. Itrequested to accomplish thefollowing 11 goals:
Have a Sustainability
