The Sustainable Development Working Group of the French Chamber of Commerce is pleased to invite you to his meeting on the topic:

Low carbon industry:

Introduction to new national energy management standards and case studies of Chinese industries involved in a low carbon manufacturing program

Seminar presented by Mr Zhao Yuejin (Chinese National Institute for Standards) & Mr Emiel van Sembeek (Azure International)

Industry is the first source of green house gases emissions in China. It represents about 60% of the country’s total emissions. That fact alone makes it a first priority for China and other countries to achieve significant reductions. Chinese industry sector emissions are strongly linked to manufacturing processes, generally following an overcapacity target but emissions and related energy consumptions are also a matter of management and governance.

This session will give an introduction about the new Chinese standard “GB23331 Energy management system” and also a presentation of the “Low carbon manufacturing program” (LCMP) led by WWF.
GB23331 standard has been drafted to regulate energy management of organizations, reduce their energy consumption and improve energy efficiency. This management system is meant to serve as a strategic policy for top management.
LCMP aims at reducing carbon emissions generated by manufacturing facilities in the Pearl River Delta and developing environmental social governance for those manufacturers.

The GB23331 standard presentation will be given by Mr Zhao Yuejin, LCMP will be presented by Emiel van Sembeek from the company Azure International.
