%X the cleaner production policy (1997) promoted the development of a strategy in colombia, in order to identify the best practices in the processes to reduce risks on human health and the environment, according to the commitments achieved in the earth summit (1992). after more than ten years of applying the cleaner production policy in colombia (1997-2009) important advances have been achieved, among which the generation of demonstrative projects, the creation of centro nacional de producci¨®n m¨¢s limpia, 5 regional nodes and environmental windows, 67 cleaner production agreements countrywide and the application of tax reductions to promote environmental investment can be remarked. in a regional context, and as a pioneer institution on the subject, ¨¢rea metropolitana del valle de aburr¨¢'s cleaner production and sustainable consumption program has, in 2010, 182 companies from several sectors as beneficiaries, increasing the participation of companies in 27,87% in the last four years. before the new sustainable production and consumption policy was established (2010), ¨¢rea metropolitana del valle de aburr¨¢ has been making diagnoses, training and socialization on the subject, aiming to strengthen the corporative performance under environmental terms and acknowledge the advances in sustainable consumption to guarantee competitiveness and sustainability.
