📋 Tender Overview
Given the upcoming transfer of functions to SENACE, PRODUCE has been creating spaces to guarantee an orderly transition.
Within the framework of the process of transferring functions from the Ministry of Production (PRODUCE) to the National Environmental Certification Service for Sustainable Investments (SENACE), technical teams from both entities held a working meeting with the objective of establishing actions to ensure that the environmental certification of manufacturing projects maintains its dynamism and predictability is guaranteed for companies in the sector.
The meeting, led by the Vice Minister of MYPE and Industry, Juan Carlos Requejo Aleman, and the Vice Minister of Environmental Management, Nelly Paredes del Castillo, made it possible to coordinate actions aimed at guaranteeing the continuity of sustainable manufacturing investments, in an environment of regulatory stability, technical rigor and alignment with sectoral industry policies.
The manufacturing sector is highly diverse and dynamic, so it is essential that this transfer process is carried out in an orderly manner, with technical support and with full knowledge of the productive particularities of the sector, in order to provide predictability and confidence to companies, said Vice Minister Juan Carlos Requejo Aleman.
It should be noted that, through Ministerial Resolution No. 345-2025-MINAM, the completion of the process of transferring functions of the Industry and Internal Trade subsector from PRODUCE to SENACE was formalized, which will be operational as of February 1, 2026.
From that date, SENACE will assume the review and approval of the Detailed Environmental Impact Studies (EIA-d), its modifications and updates, the Supporting Technical Reports, as well as the administration of the records of authorized entities and approved environmental certifications.
The Peruvian manufacturing industry includes a wide variety of activities with specialized technical and environmental requirements. In this context, PRODUCE has developed, through its General Directorate of Industrial Environmental Affairs, solid experience in the evaluation of environmental management instruments, which is key for an adequate implementation of the new institutional scheme.
In this sense, PRODUCE and SENACE will sign an Interinstitutional Cooperation Agreement that will allow strengthening technical coordination, the exchange of knowledge and the provision of specialized advice during the implementation stage.
At PRODUCE we reaffirm our commitment to continue accompanying this process, ensuring that environmental certification contributes both to the protection of the environment and to the sustainable productive development of the country, concluded Vice Minister Requejo Aleman.
