Viet Nam Cleaner Production Centre is located at the
Hanoi University of Technology,
under its host organization:
Institute for Environmental Science and Technology, INEST.
With INEST as host, VNCPC has good access to support staff,
laboratory facilities, and a network covering the whole the country.
Vietnam Cleaner Production Centre was established on 22 April 1998
within the framework of the project VIE/96/063, signed by the
Ministry of Education and Training
(MOET) and the United
Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). Funding
for the centre activities is provided by the Swiss Government
through the State
Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).
Viet Nam Cleaner Production Centre is a member of the UNIDO/UNEP
network of national cleaner production centres and is linked to the
Institute of Environmental
Technology at FHBB in Switzerland as a long-term
counterpart. Through this, Viet Nam Cleaner Production Centre has
access to the most up-dated sources of information on cleaner
production, and furthermore, is in close contact with international
experts on cleaner production. The United Nations Industrial
Development Organization (UNIDO) is the Executing agency of the
centre.
In 2002, the centre was certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 for
its Integrated Management System. The system was re-audited and
renewed in 2005 as planned.
