Environment
Real estate contributes to 40% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore practices, such as energy-efficiency, renewable energy, and green building certifications, can reduce carbon footprint and contribute to global climate change mitigation efforts.
By incorporating green and sustainable measures, such as water-efficient fixtures, renewable energy systems, and recycled/recyclable materials, we can optimize resource consumption, reduce waste generation, and promote waste diversion from landfill.
Sustainable design and construction practices can also enhance building durability, reducing maintenance and repair costs over time.
Green and Sustainability certification programs can contribute to healthier and more productive indoor environments for occupants, leading to increased occupant satisfaction, improved employee well-being, and reduced healthcare costs.

Social Sustainability is extremely essential for fostering positive relationships with stakeholders, attracting and retaining talent, and meeting customers expectations.
We emphasize on meaningful engagement with stakeholders to build trust, loyalty, and long-term partnerships. We Prioritize employee welfare, health and safety to retain talent, resulting in higher productivity and lower turnover rates.

Building Certification
Green building certifications are an effective way of minimising the environmental impact while maximising resource efficiency and occupant health and wellbeing. Employing sustainable design and construction practices that meet the requirements of such certifications boosts the durability of our buildings, resulting in reduced expenses for maintenance and repairs in the long run. Additionally, adhering to globally benchmarked standards help us create healthier and more productive indoor spaces for occupants. This, in turn, leads to heightened satisfaction among occupants, improved wellbeing of employees, and decreased healthcare expenses.
All buildings in SP Infocity Pune are certified Platinum under the IGBC Green Rating Programme, demonstrating the highest standards of sustainability. We not only ensure our new construction projects are green-certified but also maintain certifications for operational assets through the Operation and Maintenance rating.
