BCIL signs CII Sustainability Mandate

BCIL signed in August 2008, the CII Code for Sustainability as part of a roadshow organised by CII and the India Green Business Council. BCIL is one of 150 such signatories in the Indian corporate sector who have been invited to make this commitment to Ten Commandments for reducing natural resource use.

The CII has targeted for this year the enrolling of 500 Indian companies for the year. The Ten Commandments request for voluntary compliance on a spectrum of challenges relating to water, waste, energy, greening the supply chain, among other things, has been embraced by these signatory companies for implementation in their projects and product or service processes. The CII IGBC aims at achieving a saving of one million carbon tonnes in the year ahead, before setting formal targets for such carbon emission reduction.

I am glad that BCIL is part of this CII Mission. The CII and the India Green Business Council has been showing the way for industry to turn to sustainability.
