EMA EDUCATION GETS TO VARIOUS SECTORS |

“It was a good opportunity for us to learn how important the environmental analysis is in making sound management decisions.” These were the words of Tumandok Crafts CEO Josephine Locsin in FSSI’s provision of training on Environmental Management Accounting (EMA): Increasing Profitability through Better Decision-Making. Ms. Locsin actively participated in the first EMA seminar co-organized by FSSI.
It was in 2006 when eight (8) staff of the Foundation for a Sustainable
Society, Inc. (FSSI) attended the basic EMA training. This has
encouraged the organization to send two staff to advanced EMA and
Trainers Training on EMA conducted in Thailand to help FSSI impart EMA
knowledge to its stakeholders. Almost all FSSI personnel are now armed
with basic EMA Training in keeping with its advocacy on environmental
bottom-line.
