Furthermore, it poses as a dynamic platform to recognize all those working towards creating a sustainable living.

Elaborating on the event, Mr. Deepak Lamba, President, Times Conferences Ltd. said, “Organizations are discovering the multiple benefits of being driven by sustainability. Not only does it make sound business sense, it fuels innovation and helps organizations reengineer processes, operations, products and business models while ensuring sustainable deployment of resources. Going forward, we see the Smart Green initiative having a profound impact both on the industry and environment.”

Today, sustainability focuses not only on the growing need of eco-friendly built environments but also on intelligently using and re-using the resources available. The key speakers at the event will talk about sustainability and innovations in the space of design, technology and architecture and will also elaborate on topics like lighting and work-space productivity, modifying usage of modern technology to conserve natural resources, among other relevant issues.
