TPSA Success Stories on Improving SME Environmental Performance

June 25, 2019

Read about the successes the TPSA project has achieved in helping targeted coffee, footwear, and apparel SMEs improve their environmental performance.

  • Activities in the coffee sector included in-class training and field visits for farmer leaders and Agricultural Extension Officers on sustainable coffee production and processing methods. Twelve case stories are highlighted in the report that present detailed results of the training components adopted by each participant, and how they have helped improve the sustainability of his/her coffee farming and/or processing business.
  • TPSA’s environmental improvement program in the footwear and apparel sectors focused on helping the SMEs plan and implement cleaner-production measures suited to their capacity and needs. The goal was to achieve better and more efficient resource use and generate less pollution and waste. The training modules used by TPSA were drawn from the International Labour Organization’s Sustaining Competitive and Responsible Enterprises (SCORE) Program. The impact of the SCORE program on four companies are highlighted in the report (PT Mainest Gaya Kreatif, Prisma Dwi Lestari, Tiga Selaras Bersama, and PT Raimondi Usaha Mandiri), including increased production and profitability, reduced rates of defective products, reduced absenteeism, increased on-time product delivery, and reduced costs.
