The
Directory for Cleaner Production,
Pollution Prevention
and Sustainable Business
Cleaner
Production (CP) is the
United
Nations' term for
"sustainable business",
reducing
environmental impacts from processes, products and
services by using better management strategies, methods
and tools. CP is called
Pollution Prevention (P2) in
North America, and
Produccion Mas Limpia in Latin
America. Related terms include green business,
sustainable business, eco-efficiency, and waste
minimization. If you are from
North America, just think "sustainable business" or "green
business" when you see "CP" on this website. They are the
same.
CP is promoted
around the world by the United Nations, which supports
hundreds of programs and projects on sustainable
business. The UN has
produced a
Status Report on CP implementation
worldwide, with
extensive details. Try a web
search for

with thousands of organizations participating in a
global
network.

improving business performance and preserving our
future, and it's almost all free. This site is your
