Founded with a singular motto of instilling a sense of Green amongst young minds, IGBC also initiated a Green Your School Programme for classes starting from 8th to 10th and has been successfully recognizing innovative ideas and initiatives from school children to become a greener nation for the past 17 years. Along with the launch of the new Net Zero Carbon Ration System, IGBC also released updated versions of its existing rating systems for existing buildings, green campuses, and green factories.
Sharing his view on the newly launched Net Zero Rating System, Mr. Gurmit Singh Arora, Chairman – of IGBC and chairman – of Green Building Congress 2023 said “The Government of India over the last two decades has initiated several new missions and policies which support the path towards net zero carbon buildings, cities, and nation. The building sector of our country has an excellent opportunity to take the leadership role for accelerating the uptake of Net Zero. The Green Building Movement in India has been spearheaded by CII’s IGBC since 2001, by creating awareness amongst the stakeholders.
Thus far, the Council has been instrumental in enabling 10.42 billion sq.ft. of green building footprint in the country. The Council’s activities have enabled a market transformation, particularly in green building materials and technologies. IGBC continuously works to provide tools that facilitate the adoption of green building practices in India. The newly launched Net Zero Rating System is an initiative aimed at facilitating the adoption of Net Zero concepts to support market transformation towards total building sector decarbonization and to accelerate the adoption of Net Zero concepts in the country.”
Mr. Gurmit Singh Arora further added “The benefits of this rating system are multifaceted. Beyond supporting India’s climate goals through carbon reduction, it encourages resource efficiency, adoption of energy-efficient systems, integration of renewable energy sources, responsible water use, waste minimization, and climate-resilient building designs. The rating system presents an excellent opportunity for the building sector to lead the adoption of Net Zero practices and facilitate India’s transformation into one of the foremost countries achieving Net Zero by 2050.”

This three-day conference is set to unearth many innovative models of achieving Net Zero Carbon future and we are confident that there will be significant takeaways for everyone.”
The launch of the IGBC Net Zero Carbon rating system is in alignment with ‘IGBC’s Mission on Net Zero’ launched on Earth Day in 2021 and India’s commitment at COP 26 i.e., achieving the long-term goal of reaching Net Zero carbon in emissions by 2070. The rating system operates on a voluntary and consensus-based approach, promoting the use of low-embodied carbon materials and technologies, on-site or off-site renewable energy sources, and adherence to a Whole Building Life Cycle Analysis as per ISO Standard 14040.

Fortifying the Digital Fortress: 5 Crucial Cybersecurity Measures Every Hotelier Must Implement in 2023
In the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, hotels stand as prime targets for malicious actors seeking to exploit vulnerabilities in their digital infrastructure. As we step into 2023, it’s imperative for hotels to fortify their digital fortresses and prioritize cybersecurity.
The recent Taj Hotels data breach crisis is alarming for customers as their sensitive information, including personal details and financial data, is now at risk of exploitation by cybercriminals. Such breaches not only jeopardize individual privacy but also expose customers to potential identity theft and financial fraud.
The breach undermines trust in the hospitality industry, leaving patrons concerned about the security of their data when engaging with service providers. The repercussions extend beyond the immediate incident, emphasizing the urgent need for robust cybersecurity measures across industries to safeguard customer information and ensure a secure digital experience.
Here are five crucial cybersecurity measures that every hotel must implement:
1. Securing Guest Information: The Heart of Hospitality
In an era of data breaches, protecting guest information is paramount. Explore encryption protocols, secure storage solutions, and employee training to ensure that sensitive guest data remains shielded from cyber threats.
2. Advanced Endpoint Protection: Guarding Against Malware Intrusions
Endpoints are often the entry points for cyberattacks. Delve into the importance of robust endpoint protection systems, the role of antivirus software, and how hotels can stay one step ahead of evolving malware threats.
3. Securing Online Transactions: Building Trust in the Digital Realm
As digital transactions become the norm, hotels must prioritize secure online payment systems. Uncover the latest encryption standards, tokenization techniques, and fraud prevention strategies to create a secure environment for financial transactions.
4. Wi-Fi Network Fortification: Strengthening the Backbone of Connectivity
In a world where guests demand seamless connectivity, Wi-Fi networks become critical targets. Discuss the implementation of strong encryption, regular security audits, and user authentication measures to safeguard hotel Wi-Fi networks.
5. Employee Cybersecurity Training: Human Firewall in Action
Explore the significance of cybersecurity training for hotel staff. From recognizing phishing attempts to ensuring proper password hygiene, empowering employees with cybersecurity knowledge transforms them into the first line of defense.
