Peru’s ministry for the environment (Minam) has announced that it will offer a workshop with the title Profitable Environmental Management in the city of Arequipa aimed specifically at tanneries.

The ministry said the objective was to help small businesses in the tanning sector incorporate environmental issues into their management strategies while reducing costs and increasing productivity.

German state-owned sustainable development consultancy GTZ will lead the workshop over three days (July 6–8). The ministry said a similar event would take place in Trujillo from July 20–22.
