It was signed by 20 companies located in the North of the Aburrá valley and the environmental authorities from the region. By this mechanism, a wider development and a better design of tools has been achieved under the cleaner production concept, with an environmentally responsible corporative development and benefits for the communities of the zone. Nowadays, and aiming to update the initiative towards the new cleaner production and sustainable development policy, the agreement develops strategies to advance in cleaner production, but also to widely include the sustainability topic.esSostenibilidadCorporación Universitaria LasallistaCorporación Universitaria LasallistaArticle
