GreenPhilippines Islands of Sustainability (GPIoS) took a step ahead towards project sustainability! Partnership agreement was signed between GPIoS and Plantersbank last December 14, 2011.This partnership bridges the gap of the lack of SMEs to approach financial institutions and effectively access resources. GPIoS will serve as a tool to increase profitability while being environmentally friendly, making SMEs more bankable.
GPIoS and Plantersbank share a common goal of promoting sustainable development. The collaboration includes promoting awareness and compliance of Filipino Entrepreneurs on local and national legislation and policies involving sustainable production and consumption. It involves heightened use of technology-based assessment and environmental trainings for participating SMEs. Plantersbank with the GPIoS implementing partners will attract more pro-environmental investors and transactions and a well-founded public –private partnership.
