IGBC Launches India’s First Net Zero Carbon Rating System at Green Building Congress 2023
Bengaluru, 24th November 2023: CII’s Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) in partnership with The Tamil Nadu Government today formally inaugurated its three-day annual flagship conference – Green Building Congress 2023 in the city. As a key facilitator in India’s journey towards achieving the Net Zero Carbon Emission goal, IGBC announced India’s first ‘Net Zero Carbon’ rating system as part of the inaugural event. The IGBC’s Mission on Net Zero serves as a catalyst for the adoption of Net Zero concepts, supporting the market’s transformation towards total decarbonization of the building sector.
The reference guidelines of IGBC net zero carbon rating system publication formulated by IGBC was unveiled and released by Mr. Gurmit Singh Arora, National Chairman, Indian Green Building Council, Mr. Ajit Chordia, Chairman, IGBC Chennai Chapter, Mr. Oliver Ballhatchet MBE, British Deputy High Commissioner Chennai, Mr. Jamshyd N Godrej, Chairman, CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre, Mr. B Thiagarajan National Vice Chairman, Indian Green Building Council and Mr. Mahesh Anand, Co-chairman, IGBC Chennai Chapter.
As part of the inaugural event, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavans Atmakuri Ramarao School, (Benefits to Environment), Kendriya Vidyalaya BSF Camp Chhawla, Delhi (Education & Awareness) and Navy Children School, Karwar, Karnataka (Innovation Category) were recognized and awarded as winners for the Green Your School Programme.
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.”
Adding to this, Mr. Ajit Chordia, Chairman, IGBC Chennai Chapter said “We are pleased to host our annual flagship event – Green Building Congress 2023 in Chennai. We are sure this event will significantly contribute to reinforcing India’s position as a leader on the global green buildings map. We appreciate the Tamil Nadu government for its efforts towards achieving sustainable goals in the pursuit of moving towards Net Zero waste, water, energy, and carbon. Tamil Nadu’s commitment towards the green building movement can be witnessed through many landmark projects such as the IGBC-certified buildings – Anna Centenary Library, Chennai Metro Rail Limited, Smart Governance Centre, and many more. 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. The rating system addresses projects in both the ‘Design & Construction’ and ‘Operations’ phases. This approach allows tailored strategies for minimizing or eliminating carbon emissions at different project stages.
Commenting on the inauguration of IGBC’s Green Building Congress 2023, Mr. Jamshyd N Godrej, Chairman, CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre said “I am happy to be a part of IGBC’s Green Building Congress 2023. I am glad to note this Green Building Congress is focusing on Net Zero through decarbonization which is a step in the right direction. In the case of green buildings, India has been looked at as a follower. We stand number 2 in the world, whereas, in the case of net zero buildings, we have a great opportunity to take a leadership position and make India the number 1 country in the world. I am sure that the deliberations in the next three days will help the stakeholders to understand the strategies to be taken to achieve the common goal for Net Zero.”
Concluding the session, Mr. B Thiagarajan, National Vice Chairman of, the Indian Green Building Council said “While going green is imperative in the built environment industry, there is also a greater emphasis that needs to be placed on the availability of technology and products that support in facilitating the transformation. For this, we have curated a large-scale exhibition space for various stakeholders in the value chain to showcase their innovative products. Over 1000 products from across the globe will be displayed at the expo. The conference and the expo together will certainly be a stepping stone to create a conducive green future.”
The inaugural event also laid a platform for the eminent guests to recognize and reward the winners of ‘Design for LiFE: Small Medium Large Solutions for a Sustainable Tomorrow’ – a design competition for students of architecture to envision the future. The competition received more than 700+ registrations from students from 140+ Architecture colleges across the country.

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.
By implementing these five crucial cybersecurity measures, hotels can not only protect their guests and their data but also fortify their reputation as safe havens in the digital realm.
