• Higher energy efficiency through
• Energy efficient design and installation
• Maximum use of day-light
• Integrated Building Management system
• Solar-thermal installations
• Water efficiency, treatment and recycling of sewage, rainwater harvesting and zero water discharge
• Use of local resources and material for construction
• Use of zero ODP refrigerant gases
• Use of recycled and low energy materials for construction
• Indoor air quality management through proper design, online monitoring, use of low/no VOC materials, thermal management, and illumination control

• Energy management initiatives include maintaining operational efficiency through dynamic control on operating parameters to ensure optimum performance, monitoring, measurement, analysis and taking timely corrective actions, distributed IT energy efficiency, procurement of renewable energy, etc.
• Water management focuses on water conservation through water efficient installations and awareness campaigns for associates, treatment and recycling of sewage water, rainwater harvesting towards zero water discharge.
• For solid waste management, the hierarchy of reduce, reuse and recycle is followed to reduce the waste going to landfill. Each category of waste is identified and proper management channels are formalized. Solid waste is typically managed onsite through composting or bio-digester installations. Regulated wastes are handled as per the regulatory requirements.

• Procurement of the energy-star rated equipment
• EPEAT certified PCs and laptops
• Procurement of eco-friendly office paper, house-keeping chemicals, and other materials, where feasible
