Tata Realty's Park is the country's first EDGE Zero Carbon Project

16 Nov 2022 CW Team

Ramanujan Intellion Park, a TATA Realty commercial asset in Chennai, is the first campus in India to receive the International Finance Corporation's EDGE Zero Carbon certification (IFC).

With EDGE's new Zero Carbon certification, asset owners can chart a measured course toward zero carbon emissions and receive certification right away. This acknowledgment comes after India reaffirmed its environmental objectives at the COP 27 conference in Egypt.

One of the little actions Tata Realty has taken to address the urgent global climate crisis is their participation in COP27 (the Egypt Climate Summit). Every building built today must achieve the Zero Carbon targets by 2050 in order to comply with the Paris Agreement.

RamanujanIntellion Park has completely eliminated emissions using renewable energy sources or carbon offsets, saving more than 20 per cent on water and material embodied energy while achieving on-site energy savings of more than 40 per cent. This is a step in the direction of Tata Realty's ESG strategy of "Responsible Real Estate Developer Leading the Change with Purpose."
