Actually, we did a ROI study based more on USGBC standards and found that the payback period on most commercial buildings are between 2 to 5 years, if LEED and sustainable concepts are incorporated from the ground up. I will try to dig up and...

GREEN CITIES : ‘India should not imitate the West’ ! By 2050, three-quarters of humanity will be staying in cities. With global warming threatening the world, building eco-friendly ‘green cities’ has become a challenge for urban planners and architects. Dietmar Eberle from the Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, has made important contributions in this arena, designing innovative buildings in several European and Chinese cities. He discussed these issues with Subodh Varma : Education is the primary and essential prerequisite. Once the feelings, desires and knowledge of people are oriented towards bringing about a change in the way we have lived so far, then the means for building...

By Elaine Watson, It is “unfortunate” and “disappointing” that a new manufacturer-driven food safety standard has been launched to compete directly with retailerled third-party certification programmes, according to the British Retail Consortium (BRC), reports sister title Food Manufacture. On the new Food Safety System Certification scheme, FSSC 22000 – which is based on the ISO 22000 standard for food quality and backed by Nestlé, Unilever, Kraft and Danone – BRC director of Global Standards Dr Geoff Spriegel said: “ For some big branded food manufacturers, the BRC global standard is still regarded as something that was set up by UK retailers for their own-label suppliers. The big brands were always more behind ISO standards. “But the BRC standard has since grown into something that is recognised all over the globe, so it is disappointing that the big manufacturers didn’t all support it, as it’s already there and up and running. I’m not sure why they deemed it necessary to...

Social entrepreneurship in India is making greater strides towards inclusiveness by involving every strata of society to tap into the momentum and growth of the country. However, in spite of several initiatives, social entrepreneurship eco-system in India is not coming together as well as it needs to. Their focus and collaboration on solutions should be directed towards not merely one-off acts of charity, but adding up to a vast array of sustainable services across sectors and industries that help people at the base of the pyramid, which is not happening in the country now. In the post-independent era, many enterprising men with social bent of mind had ventured into setting up educational institutions, which helped the country to move out of the chaotic state into a vibrant and democratic environment. But over the decades, these established institutions which laid the foundation for modern India, because of their sheer size, were forced to evolve into large business enterprises...
