We launched our first issue of SEED at the National Conference on Green
and Sound Investment Destination – India, organized by Confederation of
Indian Industries (CII) and sponsored by Sahara India Pariwar at Mumbai on
August 19th-20th, 2002. We had the opportunity of listening and going
through various sessions that highlighted the role and focus on
Environment issues and Sustainable Development concepts that shall
challenge the minds of Governments, Corporates and Society at large;
Sahara India Pariwar continues to commit itself to the path of Sustainable
Development across all the activities in its businesses.
Post World Environment Day celebrations that spanned most of the
functional units of Sahara India Pariwar including the launch of
initiatives to nurture and foster water and energy conservation, we have
also taken up energy audit projects across the offices of our Pariwar at
Noida, Lucknow, Kolkata and Mumbai. Further, newer initiatives are on the
anvil to be launched across the Housing Division of our Pariwar in the
areas of Water Conservation and Water Harvesting furthering the national
cause for the same.
In all these initiatives we are closely associated with renowned
professionals from, TERI, CII – Environment Management Division, SENES
Consultants to name a few and many more that we would like to partner
with, in our journey towards Sustainable Development.
This issue focuses on the “Sahara Sustainability Management Model”
developed in-house and presented at the GRI, South Asia Conference held at
Kuala Lumpur. Our efforts in this direction were widely appreciated by all
present and we are getting enquiries to share our experiences with many
others.
The continuation article on energy from the previous issue propounds the
cause for conserving energy and becoming productive and effective at
lesser levels of energy consumption. This would be one of the many paths
that all sustainable corporations worldwide would have to take.
