Introduction

A new common wisdom has emerged among businesses that promises the ultimate reconciliation

of environmental and economic concerns. Businesses have started thinking away from the

conventional mind-set of help the environment and hurt your business, or irreparably harm your

business while protecting the earth. Businesses are learning that being green is no longer a cost of

doing business; it is a catalyst for innovation, new market opportunity, and wealth creation. The

idea that a renewed interest in going green will result in increased profitability for business has

widespread appeal.

Pursuing “Green” has become the new driver for companies on the quest towards growth,

competitiveness and global excellence. In pursuit of going green, companies have taken several

initiatives and this has resulted in substantial tangible and intangible benefits.

I. Background of the GreenCo Rating System

CII has been the pioneer organization in promoting green concepts across the country. To

encourage industry tread this path, CII initiated the voluntary programme “Mission on Sustainable

Growth” to facilitate ecologically sustainable business growth.

As a first step towards this direction, a CII - Code for Ecologically Sustainable Business Growth was

developed aiming to involve the top management of companies and seek voluntary commitments

towards reducing intensity of the consumption of energy, water and other natural resources and

promote ecologically sustainable growth in their companies.

The initiative launched by CII in 2008 had evoked great interest from the Indian Industry. More than

450 organizations in India were voluntarily committed to this initiative.

Companies were taking a lot of efforts towards sustainable growth, however, a system to evaluate

their actual performance was not available. The need to formulate a holistic system that will

evaluate the overall environmental performance of the company was felt and hence the GreenCo

Rating System was formed, a first-of-its-kind in the world rating system. The GreenCo Rating

System acts as a tool for companies pursuing green, to assess where they stand and help in defining

the path forward.

The GreenCo Rating System has received an excellent response stating that the Indian industry has

appreciated the fact that 'Green Makes Good Business Sense'. As of December 2016, 84 companies

are GreenCo rated and more than 250 companies are at different levels of execution of the rating

system.


II. GreenCo Rating for IT Services

A strong global economy is sustainable only if it integrates economic, social, and environmental

well-being. A dominant contributor to the global economy is the Information Technology (IT)

sector. The global IT industry market, encompassing hardware, software, services, and

telecommunications, was expected to reach $3.8 trillion in 2016, up from $3.7 trillion the previous

year. IT sector contributes to nearly 5.8% of India's overall GDP. Over the past decade, the IT/ITeS

industry in India, has been a story of unparalleled growth. The compounded annual growth rate of

the industry has been over 25% in the last five years.

Digital technologies have changed our lives beyond what anyone might have imagined mere

decades ago. IT has a special role to play in growth and development simply because of its empirical

characteristics relevant to its current time. In particular, the recent and continuing rapid innovation

in IT makes it a dynamic sector contributing to the global growth. However it cannot be denied that

their rise happens to correspond with pressing demands on natural resources. When the

excitement of the internet's information superhighway slowed down, companies with vision began

to focus on perceiving and investing in new trends. One of these new trends is sustainability-

oriented business. It considers, addresses and devises solutions to prevailing ecological, social, and

economic problems, while also seeking to ensure the “triple bottom line” of their own firm,

through realization of economic, environmental, and social returns.

The information technology (IT) sector is uniquely positioned to realize new opportunities from

this shift. While utilities lack efficiency, technology companies focusing on innovation, insufficient

resources in terms of money and manpower to effect a change, the IT giants have both. And most

importantly, there is a growing need for the IT sector to look at sustainability-oriented operations.

A full-fledged green transition in the IT sector is urgently needed.

While several manufacturing industries have taken major steps in greening the country through

the GreenCo Rating System, it was imperative to expand the GreenCo rating in the services

industry. The IT sector being a dominant player in the services sector, should also focus on its green

transition. The GreenCo Rating System would be one of the best available tools for the IT services

industry to adopt. Keeping in mind the operational intricacies of the IT services industry, the

GreenCo Rating System is fine-tuned to suit the requirements of the industry. The rating system

underwent stakeholder consultation with several sector experts, whose key inputs have been

incorporated in the pilot of the GreenCo Rating System.


Note: The GreenCo Rating System for IT Services pilot version will be applicable to IT services

companies that have complete operational and maintenance control over its campuses and

buildings. For those companies with limitations in operations and control, the rating system will

be suitably modified when need arises.

III. Benefits of the GreenCo Rating for IT Services

Application of GreenCo rating would address national priorities leading to benefits, such as energy

efficiency, water conservation, renewable energy, waste management, green supply chain, etc.

Some of the major benefits are highlighted below:

Energy Efficiency - Businesses consume energy for various reasons like operating machinery,

running computers, office maintenance etc. The GreenCo rating system calls for energy monitoring

and accounting system as well as technology that is less energy intensive. The rating system would

help the organizations to benchmark their performance and guide them towards becoming

competitive in energy efficiency. Involvement of employees and building capacity of them are also

part of the rating system.

Water Conservation - Our requirements for water to meet our fundamental needs and our

collective pursuit of higher living standards, coupled with the need for water to sustain our planet's

fragile ecosystems, make water unique among natural resources. The increase in global population

coupled with the rising economy increase the demand for water exponentially. According to World

Bank estimates, today about 700 million people live in countries experiencing water stress or

scarcity. By 2035, it is projected that 3 billion people will be living in conditions of severe water

stress. Many countries with limited water availability depend on shared water resources,

increasing the risk of conflict over these scarce resources. Effective water management strategies

are the call of the hour to address the water crisis. The green company rating promotes sustainable

use of water through “reduce, recycle, reuse and reclaim” strategies. It prescribes metering to

monitoring water consumption, rain water harvesting and water use reduction strategies. Overall,

this has the effect of reducing utility costs for businesses.

Renewable Energy - The adverse effects on environment caused by the production and

consumption of energy have resulted in severe environmental impacts across the globe. With

world economies taking commitments to reduce their share of carbon emissions contributing to

the global warming, it requires countries to look at alternate sources of energy meet their growing

energy demands. This not only allows for use of energy that is clean but also reduces the

dependence on fossil fuels, which are major contributors of Green House Gases. Similarly, there

are other sources of renewable energy that need to be explored and utilized. The Green Company


Rating System encourages businesses to employ clean and renewable energy. The ultimate goal is

to offset 100% of the electrical energy / thermal by renewable energy. Although the initial

investment on installing equipment for generating renewable energy is relatively high, the long

term benefits of reduced maintenance cost, low operating costs and cost savings on fossil fuels

makes it a lucrative proposition for businesses.

Green House Gases Reduction - The global average concentrations of various greenhouse gases in

the atmosphere reached their highest levels ever recorded, and continue increasing. The

combustion of fossil fuels from human activities and land-use changes are largely responsible for

this increase. The ill effects of greenhouse gases generated by the consumption of fossil fuels are

very well known. The GreenCo rating system guides businesses on reducing their Green House Gas

emission by setting short term goals while working on a long term strategy. The ultimate goal is to

make businesses “Carbon Neutral” i.e. they should be able to remove as much carbon dioxide from

the atmosphere as they generate.

Waste Management & Material Conservation - The waste management sector is contributing 3-5

per cent of global man-made greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, equal to around the current

emissions from international aviation and shipping, according to some estimates. Since the waste

collection and disposal facilities are not very efficient, most of the waste stagnates at its place of

origin leading to several environmental issues. The Green Company Rating System recommends

waste management strategies that enable businesses to identify and segregate different types of

waste. The system presents guidelines on waste inventory study to enable businesses to quantify

data on amount of waste generated and hence empower them to adopt suitable waste disposal

strategies. The rating system recommends various waste reduction strategies with a major focus on

hazardous, non-hazardous and e-waste. The reduction of waste generation also presents an

excellent business case for the organization to pursue.

Material conservation and recycling is closely related to waste management. It is self-evident that

the more we conserve and recycle/ re-use, the less waste we generate. Apart from this, by reusing

materials there is a definite saving in costs. The cost savings is in the form of reduced material costs

(as we reuse the same material) as well reduced waste disposal cost (since lesser waste is

generated). The rating system promotes reuse and recycling of raw materials and discourages use

of virgin materials.

Green Supply Chain - As environmental awareness among consumers increase, the demand for

products with lower environmental footprint will also increase. In keeping with consumer

sentiments, businesses will have to not only green their operations, but also across their supply

chain. This calls for a rethink of the business' current procurement process. Studies have shown


that improved green supply chain processes means lower waste-disposal, lower environmental

impact at the vendor premises and, often, reduced materials costs. The green rating system aims to

make businesses aware of these benefits to their bottom-line so that they are encouraged to

implement green supply chain processes.

IV. Green Rating System: Overview & Process

The GreenCo Green Company Rating System advocates a performance based approach. It is unique

as it is highly performance oriented and significant weightage is provided for the performance/

results achieved (70%). The company has to perform and achieve superior performance in most of

the Green parameters to reach the highest rating level. The rating system evaluates green features

for companies against the following performance parameters:

Energy Efficiency Water Conservation Renewable Energy Greenhouse Gas Emission Waste Management & Material Conservation Green Supply Chain Other Areas (Ventilation, Green Belt, Site Location & Innovation in above areas)

Weightages (points) are assigned to varying degrees of goals that are set for each of these

parameters. For example, the points are awarded for reducing energy consumption. But points

awarded will be higher for a business that demonstrates a higher degree of reduction in energy

consumption compared to another business that demonstrates a lower degree of reduction in

energy consumption. The companies at various levels of efficiency (for example, top 5 energy

efficient plants in the world / national level) are also suitably recognized in this rating system.

Green Company Rating System Registration

IT Services companies that are interested in participating in the GreenCo certification can register

with CII Godrej GBC on the website - Registration is the initial step which www.greenco.in.

establishes contact with CII - Godrej GBC and provides access to the required documents,

A training program would be organised for the companies registered for the GreenCo Rating. The

objective of the training program is to aid the companies understand the rationale behind the

various credit points. The company submits the filled up rating questionnaire to CII.

Subsequent to the receipt of the assessment questionnaire, site visit will be conducted by a team of

independent assessors and representatives of CII. The number of site visits and assessors will be

decided based on the size of the company / unit being assessed. The objective of site visit is to

validate the data submitted as well as present to the company various improvement areas and

opportunities. The rating will be communicated to the company by the Judges Panel

The rating will be periodically communicated and will be in the website of CII - Godrej GBC. There

would also be an annual review to revalidate the rating as well as guide the organisation towards

improvement. The rating is valid for 3 years and at the end of 3 years the companies will have to

apply for the rating again. In between, if the company feels that they have improved their

performances they can apply for a fresh rating. During the period of rating, the companies can use

'GreenCo' certified company in their letterheads and other corporate communication.

As a first step, CII - Godrej GBC is pleased to launch the pilot version of the GreenCo Green Company

Rating System for IT Services.
