The United Na�ons Industrial Development Organiza�on (UNIDO) is the specialized agency of
the United Na�ons that promotes Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development (ISID) to
enable its member states to benefit from industrializa�on that creates shared prosperity and
safeguards the environment. This, amongst others, requires exis�ng industries to con�nuously
improve their environmental performance and resource use intensity, whilst in addi�on
promo�ng new green industries to produce and deliver environmental goods and services – in
short Green Industry. UNIDO ini�ated in 2012 at the global level the Green Industry Pla�orm,
which is a global, high-level, mul�-stakeholder partnership and forum to catalyze, mobilize and
mainstream ac�on on Green Industry around the world (www.greenindustrypla�orm.org). It
provides a framework to bring governmental, business and civil society leaders together to
secure concrete commitments and ac�on in support of the Green Industry agenda.
In 2015 UNIDO celebrates 20 years of coopera�on and achievement with the United Na�ons
Environment Programme (UNEP) in fostering adapta�on and adop�on of Resource Efficient
and Cleaner Produc�on (RECP) in developing, emerging and transi�on economies. The RECP
programme is implemented in coopera�on with a network of knowledge ins�tu�ons and
service providers globally, known as RECPnet, of which CII – Godrej GBC is a proud founding
member. Godrej GBC is currently carrying out a project en�tled “Pilot applica�on of innova�ve
assessment and monitoring methods for resource efficient and cleaner produc�on in selected
manufacturing sectors in India”. The aim of the project is to develop, trial and promote RECP
approaches par�cularly in small and medium sized enterprises in developing and emerging
economies and the GreenCo Ra�ng System is selected as an innova�ve assessment and

FOREWORD
Green prac�ces are no longer an extra discipline but an integral part of the business acumen; pursuing growth and preserving ecology is the mantra adopted by the Indian industry. Opportuni�es to increase compe��veness by going green and improving resource efficiency are wide-spread and far-reaching. Companies that are prepared to absorb and exploit these opportuni�es have the chance to gain compe��ve advantage.
The Indian society has the inherent a�tude of respec�ng what we have and ra�on their usage. Resource conserva�on, reuse and recycling seem to be a part of our DNA, which is indeed a healthy sign both for the economy and the ecology. The art of managing constraints and the emerging innova�ve thinking have offered solu�ons making our living and businesses more sustainable. This is what green is all about and this is what the GreenCo Ra�ng System advocates.
GreenCo evaluates the performance of companies on the ecological front in a holis�c manner and guides these enterprises to make their products, services, opera�ons and supply chain greener. We are extremely heartened by the response that GreenCo has been receiving in all these years. We are glad to announce that, as of June 2015, 47 companies are GreenCo rated and more than 110 companies are at different levels of execu�on of the ra�ng system.
The GreenCo rated companies have not only reduced their environmental impact but have also improved their compe��veness. It is encouraging to see the environmental benefits and monetary benefits reported by the companies. This compila�on showcases some of the best prac�ces from select GreenCo rated companies and respec�ve savings achieved by each of them. I congratulate the companies listed as a part of this compila�on that have taken progressive steps to reduce their ecological footprint.
I am confident that this compila�on will inspire Indian industries to be a part of the GreenCo movement to make a change and to contribute to crea�ng a greener world.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Programme (UNEP) a global programme on Resource Efficient and Cleaner Produc�on (RECP).RECP con�nuously applies preven�ve environmental strategies to processes, products and services. This
increases efficiency and reduces risks to humans and the environment. RECP also recognizes similar types
of preven�ve measures that are needed to advance produc�on efficiency, environmental management
and human development.
Development of the Case Study BookletUNIDO, under its global RECP Programme, along with CII – Godrej GBC is carrying out a project en�tled
“Pilot applica�on of innova�ve assessment and monitoring methods for resource efficient and cleaner
produc�on in selected manufacturing sectors in India”. The aim of the programme is to develop, trial and
promote RECP approaches par�cularly in small and medium sized enterprises in developing and
emerging economies. The GreenCo Ra�ng System is selected as an innova�ve assessment and
monitoring method, and as a part of the project, has intended to bring out case studies of GreenCo Rated
Companies. This compila�on is supported by UNIDO.
The compila�on has been brought forward as a result of the following ac�vi�es – Ü Two-day GreenCo Site Visit Assessments at individual companies as part of the GreenCo Ra�ng
SystemÜ Circula�on of an annual sustenance ques�onnaire to companies who have been GreenCo rated
for more than a year Ü Visit to select GreenCo rated companies to understand the ac�vi�es ini�ated a�er one year of
achieving the GreenCo ra�ng
Every case study in this booklet broadly covers a brief profile of the company, the company's GreenCo
journey, ini�a�ves taken by the companies across various GreenCo parameters and the tangible and
intangible benefits achieved. This compila�on is intended for industries to learn from each other and
replicate wherever possible.
The GreenCo Case Study Booklet was released during the 4th edi�on of the GreenCo Summit 2015 on

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Pursuing green has become the new driver for companies on the quest towards growth, compe��veness
and global excellence. With number of businesses going green on the rise and several ini�a�ves on
different areas evokes a spark in an individual's mind on 'How Green is a Company'. CII, through an
extensive stakeholder consulta�on and interac�on with experts, has developed the “GreenCo Ra�ng
System” to evaluate how green is a company. This first of its kind in the world ra�ng system, is a holis�c
mechanism to assess and analyze the company's performance on the green front. It is a framework to
measure and monitor the environmental impact of a company's ac�vi�es or opera�ons. The GreenCo
Ra�ng System apart from assessing the companies also defines a path for con�nuous ecological
improvement and guided phase growth.
The GreenCo Ra�ng System has been receiving an excellent response from the Indian industry. As of June
2015, 47 companies are GreenCo Rated and more than 110 companies are at various levels of execu�on
of the ra�ng system. GreenCo's depth and spread of environmental parameters, its mul� sector
applicability and its neither-too-tough-nor-too-easy design are a few characteris�cs that have facilitated
GreenCo to reach out to various companies across various sectors, sizes and regions. One of GreenCo's
dis�nguishing characteris�cs is that the GreenCo Ra�ng System is not just a ra�ng system but a
comprehensive mechanism that helps companies to evolve as those exhibi�ng superior environmental
responsibility and performance.
GreenCo's success vests in encouraging companies whom have been performing good in their
environmental front to perform exceedingly well and companies who haven't ventured into the green
aspects to put in significant efforts to explore op�ons and go higher up the ladder of environmental
performance. Rela�vely newer concepts such as working beyond the fence to conserve water, third party
purchase of renewable energy, raw material conserva�on through reduc�on and subs�tu�on, extending
environmental conserva�on ac�vi�es into the supply chain, responsible manufacture of products, life
cycle assessment as a tool to reduce environmental impact of its product, process and service and many
more are taken up by companies. The GreenCo rated companies have not only reduced their
environmental impact but have also improved their compe��veness.
