China enterprises join in voluntary EU emissions reduction scheme

[Original article in Chinese. Title translation, and following summary of the article's key points, provided by Business & Human Rights Resource Centre.] 14 major enterprises in iron & steel, petrochemical and building materials industries have committed to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gases emissions in the coming three years by joining the voluntary EU emissions reduction scheme. The scheme will receive EU's technical assistance and the Chinese government's preferential policy benefits. One of the signatories to the voluntary agreement, Nanjing Iron and Steel Union, said it would implement emissions reduction measures internally while importing advanced management and technological practices drawn from the experience of the EU.
