Understanding ZED
About Us
The cornerstone of this initiative is the Zero Defect Zero Effect (ZED) philosophy. “Zero Defect” emphasizes the production of high-quality products with no defects, ensuring reliability and excellence. “Zero Effect” focuses on the environmental aspect, ensuring that the manufacturing processes do not harm the environment. This dual focus aims to make MSMEs globally competitive while promoting sustainability.
The MSME Sustainable ZED Certification Scheme is designed to roll out in two distinct phases, ensuring a comprehensive and inclusive approach to elevating MSMEs across various sectors.
