Institute for Sustainable Communities
The Institute for Sustainable Communities recently received funding from The Walt Disney Company to launch an EHS+ Center in India.
After completing training, factory managers will work to improve health and safety on the job and drive improvements in environmental health, energy efficiency, and greenhouse gas management.
As ISC president George Hamilton noted in a press release: “India is the world’s third largest - and fastest growing - emitter of GHG. They have a shortage of high-quality industrial training, and they need holistic training in energy, health, and safety.
“Through our grant from The Walt Disney Company, we can train 2,000 Indian factory managers annually in the skills they need to drive factories toward better safety and sustainability. It’s good for them, it’s good for their communities, and it’s good for the world.”
The Walt Disney Company has awarded a $625,000 grant to initiate the development of an EHS+ Center in India; ISC expects to announce a local partner later this year, and will launch the EHS+ Center late in 2014.
The extensive growth in manufacturing in developing countries has also accelerated growth in pollution and accidents, underscoring the need for better practices around worker health and safety, while the growth of greenhouse gas emissions reinforces the need for action to improve the economic and environmental sustainability of manufacturing in developing countries.
