Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB) signed two MoUs on Saturday at the closing of the 1st International Environment and Sustainability Summit Goa (IESSG) 2023. The MoUs will help industries in Goa get green ratings.
The first MoU was signed for CII GreenCo rating, which is a voluntary rating system promoted by CII and is a first-of-its-kind system. GSPCB chairman Mahesh Patil said that the rating holistically evaluates how green a company is and suggests the way forward in pursuing environmental excellence.
The rating guidelines cover energy, water, , greenhouse gas mitigation, waste and material management, green supply chain, product stewardship, life-cycle assessment and innovation, said Patil.
The second MoU was signed by the pollution control board with CII IGBC or Indian Green Building Council of the CII.
