Background of EHSA in China
![Page 3: The Environment, Health and Safety Academy (EHSA) Presentation at WRI’s GHG Accounting Workshop March 23, 2010Joyce Peters](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649eda5503460f94bea1cd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Our Approach
• Partner with local government & a recognized Chinese institution (Lingnan College at Sun Yat-Sen University)
• Leverage MNC expertise in development and follow-up
• Create platform for training delivery to factory managers & enterprise leaders that can be scaled-up
Guangdong Province, China
Result: EHSA is increasing pool of qualified EHS
professionals, not just creating one-off courses

Adding Clean Energy & GHG Accounting
• Train 4,000 factory managers per year in cutting edge EE, RE, & GHG management;
• Field test, customize, and disseminate new GHG protocol standards & tools;
• Embed EE/GHG course in national certification protocol in collaboration with the Ministry of Human Resources & Social Security
Will combine the training resources of ISC’s EHS Academies in Guangdong and Jiangsu with WRI’s global leadership in GHG accounting and measurement to:
