27 Feb 2025 CW Team

The Global Network for Zero (GNFZ), the world’s leading independent net zero certification body, successfully hosted the Net Zero Deep Dive Conference 2025 at ITC Gardenia, Bengaluru. The event brought together over 300 industry leaders, policymakers, and sustainability experts to advance India’s net zero goals.

With the theme “Net Zero – From Aspiration to Action,” discussions focused on practical decarbonisation strategies, addressing regulatory challenges, financing needs, and technology adoption. With 70 per cent of India’s urban infrastructure yet to be built by 2047, the event highlighted the urgency of integrating sustainable solutions early. Experts noted that achieving net zero by 2070 will require US$10.1 trillion in sustainable infrastructure investments by 2050.

The conference featured fireside chats, masterclasses, and case studies, showcasing successful net zero projects across real estate, manufacturing, and logistics.

Mahesh Ramanujam, CEO, GNFZ, emphasized, “The path to net zero demands systemic action, and India is well-positioned to lead.”

Executives from Prestige Group, Zomato, Shree Ramkrishna Exports, Danfoss, Ecofirst, and Sunil Nayyar Consultants shared insights on scalable decarbonisation strategies, circular economy adoption, and renewable energy integration.

GNFZ also awarded Net Zero milestone certifications to leading companies, including Bharat Diamond Bourse, Lenskart Factory, Pravin Masalewale Warehouse, and AEON Headquarters.

The event reaffirmed India’s commitment to sustainability, positioning the country as a leader in the global net zero movement.
