A total of 42 micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) from Naga City and nearby municipalities participated in the Green Productivity Towards Greener Industrialization Training, an initiative aimed at promoting sustainable business growth through environmentally responsible productivity practices, on June 10, 2026 in Naga City, Camarines Sur.

The training provided participants with valuable knowledge and practical strategies on green productivity, resource efficiency, waste reduction, energy conservation, and sustainable business operations. Through interactive discussions and learning sessions, MSME representatives gained a deeper understanding of how environmental stewardship can be integrated into daily business processes while improving productivity and competitiveness.

The activity highlighted the importance of adopting innovative and sustainable approaches in response to emerging environmental challenges and evolving market demands. Participants were encouraged to implement green practices that not only reduce operational costs and environmental impact but also contribute to long-term business resilience and growth.

Moreover, the training emphasized the vital role of MSMEs in advancing sustainable industrialization and supporting the country’s commitment to environmental sustainability. By incorporating green productivity principles into their operations, enterprises can enhance efficiency, create value, and strengthen their position in an increasingly sustainability-driven economy.

The Green Productivity Towards Greener Industrialization Training serves as a testament to the continuing efforts to equip MSMEs with the necessary tools and knowledge to become more productive, competitive, and environmentally responsible.
