The Center of Energy and Environmental Sustainability in Industry (CEESI)
At the forefront of Jordan’s industrial transformation, the Center of Energy and Environmental Sustainability in Industry (CEESI) leads the efforts toward a greener, more resilient, and competitive industrial future.
The center, established by the Jordan Chamber of Industry (JCI), serves as the leading reference for industrial sustainability and green innovation. Since its establishment, the center has aimed to empower Jordanian industries to optimize resource use, adopt cleaner production practices, and enhance long-term resilience, paving the way for a more sustainable industrial ecosystem.
CEESI’s work is built around three main pillars that form the foundation of its vision and mission:
• Advocacy, and lobbying which ensures that the voice of the industrial sector is effectively represented in local, regional, and international dialogues and policy discussions related to energy, environment, and sustainability.
• Enhancing technical capacities through specialized training programs, workshops, and capacity-building initiatives that empower industries with the knowledge and tools for sustainable transformation.
• Providing technical support in energy efficiency, water management, waste minimization, and sustainability practices, helping factories improve their performance and competitiveness.
Building on a strong foundation, CEESI continues the legacy of the Energy and Sustainability Unit, established in 2016, which has evolved from a focus on energy efficiency into a center of excellence driving progress toward a circular and sustainable economy.
Collaboration and partnership are central to CEESI’s mission. The center works closely with government entities, international partners, and local industries to design and implement strategic programs in energy efficiency and renewable energy integration, industrial water management, waste minimization and circular economy, climate action and de-carbonization, and gender engagement in sustainability.
To translate these initiatives into real impact, CEESI relies on a team of specialized experts and a network of industrial facilities to deliver technical assistance, capacity building, and advisory services that help industries remain competitive while contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
CEESI’s projects are Green Factory Awards, Food Energy Grid, Regional Energy Grid, Water Efficiency Network, Waste Management Network.
Looking ahead, as Jordan’s industries continue to advance toward a green and circular future, CEESI remains the trusted partner driving innovation, sustainability, and progress, shaping a cleaner and more resilient industrial landscape for generations to come.
