WABAG’s Chennai office has recently been awarded the IGBC Net Zero Water certification by the Confederation of Indian Industry’s Indian Green Building Council (CII-IGBC). This significant milestone marks the office’s commitment to sustainability and water conservation, as it successfully aligns with the Net Zero Water concept.
The IGBC Net Zero Water certification is a part of the Council’s efforts to encourage organizations to reduce water consumption to zero by adopting advanced water management strategies. Achieving this certification demonstrates WABAG’s proactive approach to implementing responsible water usage and conservation practices, ensuring that its Chennai office reuses and recycles water sustainably. The process involves ensuring that the water consumed on-site is balanced by the amount of water that is reused and replenished. The certification is an acknowledgment of the company’s efforts in reducing dependence on external water sources and enhancing on-site water recycling through techniques such as rainwater harvesting, water treatment, and reuse.
This achievement also reflects WABAG’s larger sustainability goals, as the company continues to spearhead innovations in water treatment and management. Their commitment to sustainable practices not only reduces operational costs but also contributes to the company’s vision of promoting environmental stewardship. By receiving the IGBC Net Zero Water certification, WABAG’s Chennai office joins a select group of establishments committed to achieving environmental excellence in water conservation. This certification underscores WABAG’s leadership in corporate sustainability and serves as a model for other organizations aiming to reduce their environmental impact. This recognition is part of a growing movement toward sustainability in the corporate sector, as businesses increasingly adopt green building certifications and environmental practices in their operations to mitigate the effects of climate change and support India’s water conservation efforts.
