State Bank of India embraces two new certifications from the IGBC in its efforts to promote sustainability
Keeping in line with its core values, the country's largest bank continues to boost its efforts towards promoting overall sustainability and fulfill its responsibility for the environment. As one of the founding members of the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), SBI is constantly thriving to incorporate green measures in all its possible avenues. As a result of these efforts, SBI now boasts eight buildings that are green certified by the IGBC. The two latest additions include; The Dunedin Bungalow which is the official residence of SBI's Chairman and The State Bank Bhavan. The Dunedin Bungalow received a Platinum Certification which is the best rating the IGBC gives, whereas, The State Bank Bhavan was awarded the Gold Certification.
The key features that the IGBC considers for its certification vary from a structure's environment friendliness to its ability to conserve energy for combating global warming. A few attributes that helped SBI’s Dunedin Bungalow earn its Platinum green habitat certification include the property’s ability to harvest rainwater, manage solid waste, organic farming, solar-paneled rooftop, etc.
