To ensure wider application of Green BDS & RECP in Uzbekistan, the local market of service providers needed to be developed, including sufficient local capacities and skills. Taking into account the request of numerous companies wanting to learn more about Green BDS & RECP methodology, it was decided to organize a 2-day intensive training on Green BDS & RECP for a wider audience.

The purpose of this particular 2-day intensive training on Green BDS & RECP was to provide hands-on experience and advanced training on the application of the methodology in a wider number of companies to companies’ internal teams, and energy and environmental professionals.

As a result of the training program, participants were able to understand how the Green BDS & RECP methodology was applied to manufacturing enterprises and had generated Green BDS & RECP measures and projects for their companies to improve resource efficiency in their production processes. The development of local expertise was one important means for ensuring long-term results with continued Green BDS & RECP adoption.

Participants of the training were trained and familiarized with the different tools (presentations, templates, worksheets, etc.) which allowed them to implement all the Green BDS & RECP audit activities by themselves.

The training program gave the participants the required capacity to develop a practical In-plant Assessment for Green BDS & RECP projects as well as for new projects in the future.
