Environment
GeBBS is aware of the climate & scarce resource preservation need and has put in place measures to reduce the negative impact either through its in-house programs or by partnering with integrated building management systems at its various sites.
Energy & GHG
Energy & GHG Emissions
GeBBS has taken initiatives to ensure that stressed resources are conserved, and alternatives are used wherever possible. At GeBBS we partner with Property Management Partners who are equally responsible and invest in sustainable future. Some of our initiatives include:
- Offices managed by Building Management partners who work towards renewable energy resources like solar panel, diesel generator certified maintenances, LEED building certifications, etc.
- Initiatives to reduce electricity consumption by installing LED lights.
- Adoption of virtual meeting facility wherever possible to reduce the dependency on employee travel.
- Consolidated seating arrangements were implemented in locations to reduce energy consumption, aligning with sustainable practices to minimize our environmental footprint.
Tree Plantation Program
Tree Plantation Program
Our CEO and MD, Mr. Milind Godbole, envisioned a significant environmental objective: to plant trees equal to our employee count. We are proud to have achieved this goal by planting 14,140 tree saplings in various locations near Mumbai and Aurangabad. Our underlying objective is to enhance the green cover while also nurturing fruit-bearing trees. Our focus ahead is to maintain a survival rate of 90% while planting more trees.
Our Green Goals: Achieving Dual Objectives with One Initiative
When we explored the potential of sustainability initiatives, we concluded that it can be more than just environmental preservation, enabling positive change that touches lives and uplifts communities. Our “One Employee, One Tree” mission is a cornerstone of our ESG vision, which has resulted in multi-faceted outcomes. This initiative across multiple geographies has successfully started a movement that connects our corporate goals with a deep sense of social responsibility.
Water & Waste Management
Fresh water is a stressed resource and our efforts in optimizing the water consumption include:
- Using recycled water wherever possible
- Creating awareness amongst employees for conserving water and reduce wastages
- The installation of sensor taps in India units has cut water consumption per employee by 8.4% within a quarter
- Water flow control aerator installation
- Limited number of cooling towers installed to prevent water loss
- Our office space management partners have water recycling plants or rainwater harvesting mechanisms
Under waste management we follow the local municipal guidelines and ensure:
- Hazardous waste and e-waste sent to the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) approved recyclers
- Optimizing the utilization of IT equipment to reduce e-waste
- Optimizing the use of paper/ rolls. Our policies include clean desk policies to limit paper wastages
- Segregation and measurement of non-hazardous waste at all India and Philippines offices
