The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry will establish Green Productivity Cell that would work in collaboration with EU Switch Asia Programme and SMEDA to increase production efficiency and reduce wastage in targeted sectors including Textile, Food Processing and Pharmaceutical Industry.
The decision was made at a meeting between the LCCI President Farooq Iftikhar and Martin Straehle, International Project Coordinator of bfz gGmbH. LCCI Vice President Mian Abuzar Shad and representatives of SMEDA were also present on the occasion. The proposed Green Productivity Cell that would be established at the LCCI premises would also work out a methodology to create awareness among the select SME sectors about international quality and environmental standards. The establishment of Green Productivity Cell would be a giant leap by all means as it would not only be strengthening the local manufacturing sector but would also be giving a quantum jump to Pakistani exports and the ultimate beneficiary would be the businessmen in this part of the world, said LCCI president.
