Dear Friends,

It's over a decade since CII-Godrej GBC was established.

When we look back, all through, the journey was eventful

and fulfilling.

Each day was a learning to all of us and it has unbundled

new growth horizons to us. This in turn provided us new

opportunities to go that extra mile and offer the best to

Indian industry.

A decade ago, people did not know much about 'green

buildings'! Today, green buildings have become a way of

life and India stands number two in the world in

terms of registered green building footprint. I thank

Mr ParasuRaman and Dr Jain and all the partners of Indian

Green Building Council (IGBC) for re-defining the way

buildings are constructed.

CII-Godrej GBC, under the thought leadership of

Mr Pradeep Bhargava extended the concept of Green to

companies, by launching GreenCo Rating System, the

first -of –its- kind –in- the world. This initiative is indeed

evoking excellent response.

Today, organisations by going the GreenCo way are

driving excellence in resource conservation and bottom-

line improvement. GreenCo is also providing strategies

for long-term competitiveness and enabling

organisations achieve world class status in Green.

Launching GreenPro certification was indeed a major

milestone to all of us. The long felt need of certified

Green Products will be fully catered through GreenPro.

We are sure, the day is not far when India will offer only

certified Green Products. I thank Mr ParasuRaman for

steering this initiative.

Green Schools initiative aiming to promote green

practices in young minds and also design green schools

is evoking excellent response. CII-Godrej GBC is

partnering with both Government and Private schools to

take this Mission across the country.

CII Godrej GBC, under the guidance of Dr Forbes is

continuing to offer the latest Energy Management

services to Indian industry. World Class Energy Efficiency

initiative and India GHG Program is adding significant

value to all stakeholders.

Smart Power for Rural Development' (SPRD) and Green

Power Market Development Group - India (GPMDG)

initiative which is being led by Ramesh Kymal is on the

right track and evoking excellent response from the

stakeholders. In days to come, we will significantly scale

it up across the country.

I take this opportunity to thank Mr S Padmanabhan;

Mr Pradeep Dhobale; Mr Ranganath, Mr Anil Kumar V

Epur; Mr G V Prasad; Mr L S Ganapati; Mr S Chandrasekhar;

Mr Kasi Viswanathan and Mr G Jayaraman, Mr V Suresh for

all their support and leadership.

It is indeed a matter of great satisfaction to share that CII-

Godrej GBC could facilitate reduction of over 9 Million

Tons/ Annum of CO . CII Godrej GBC will continue to do its 2

best in bringing down emissions in industry and will play

a catalytic role in facilitating a Greener & Healthier India.

We warmly invite you to partner

with CII-Godrej GBC in all its

activities & initiatives.
