WWF-Pakistan and Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FCCI) signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) to organise awareness sessions for the industrial sector and capacity building seminars on water and energy conservation. Dr Masood Arshad, Director, Climate, Energy and Water, WWF-Pakistan and Chaudhry Muhammad Nawaz, President, FCCI signed the MoU.
In order to promote water conservation in the textile and sugar industries, WWF-Pakistan in collaboration with Cleaner Production Institute (CPI), organised a seminar on "Best Water Management Practices (BWMPs)" at FCCI. The seminar was a part of WWF-Pakistan's European Union funded project city-wide partnership for sustainable water use and water stewardship in SMEs in Lahore, Pakistan (WSP). General managers and engineers from almost 80 industries were present on the occasion. The objective of the seminar was to sensitise the local industrialists on the efficient use of water and energy through BWMPs in the light of lessons gathered from industrial audits and national and international best practices. The participants were informed regarding environmental as well as economic benefits of applying different BWMPs at the enterprise level.
