International Conference on Sustainable Manufacturing, 23-24 September 2008
The OECD Project on Sustainable Manufacturing and Eco-innovation was launched in the second quarter of 2008. This project aims to accelerate sustainable production by diffusing knowledge and providing industry with a means to benchmark their products and production processes. It seeks to promote the concept of eco-innovation and to stimulate new technological and systemic solutions to global environmental challenges.
As a first step, the OECD is to undertake a stocktaking of indicators and tools applied in implementing sustainable manufacturing practices. This conference aims to provide a venue for sharing the experience of leading companies in this area. The conference will also provide an opportunity to discuss what the OECD and its member countries can do to help advance private sector sustainable manufacturing initiatives.
