Envision Scientific Pvt. Ltd. (ESPL), a company involved in research, development and manufacturing of innovative products and methods for treatment of cardiovascular disease and the manufacturing arm of Concept Medical, a leading med-tech company has been granted the gold certification for green factory building by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). ESPL has taken several measures to reduce its ecological burden, including the implementation of solar panels on its own property, energy efficiency development projects, and tree-planting campaigns, among others. ESPL is the first factory in the Surat Special Economic Zone (SEZ) to be certified as a green building due to these measures.

The gold-level certification of Envision Scientific’s SurSEZ manufacturing facility is attained through a variety of eco-friendly features. Utilising energy-saving equipment, lighting systems, and solar power, the facility maximises its energy efficiency. To reduce water consumption, water conservation measures such as rainwater harvesting, and water-efficient fixtures have been implemented. Additionally, the organisation prioritises waste management practises, such as recycling and the correct disposal of waste. In addition, the indoor environment promotes the health and well-being of occupants through the use of enhanced ventilation and low-emission materials.

Obtaining IGBC’s gold-level certification validates the company’s dedication to sustainable practices, enhancing its reputation as an environmentally responsible enterprise. It demonstrates Envision Scientific’s commitment to minimising its environmental impact and carbon imprint. Moreover, the manufacturing unit’s green building features contribute to cost reductions through energy and water conservation, resulting in a more efficient and financially viable operation.

IGBC is a prestigious organization & a not-for-profit council formed to create an environmentally cohesive ecosystem committed to promoting sustainable construction practices and environmental conservation. The IGBC green factory buildings programme is the first rating system for the industrial sector in India that evaluates manufacturing facilities based on multiple criteria, including energy efficiency, water conservation, refuse management, and interior air quality. It is based on globally accepted energy and environmental principles, striking a balance between established practices and emerging concepts.

ESPL’s green initiatives include tree-planting drives surrounding the factory, in-house solar power generation, charging stations for 2-wheelers and 4-wheelers, ETP and STP plants, rainwater collection systems, and an ETB water treatment plant. Additionally, the company has implemented numerous waste management initiatives to reduce the use of single-use plastic for packaging.

Parth Doshi, Director, Concept Medical & ESPL, stated, “Our manufacturing facility plays a significant role in guaranteeing a minimal carbon footprint by implementing innovative and effective measures that enable us to accomplish our goals without negatively impacting the environment. In addition, we aim to inspire other organisations in the SEZ industrial zone to join us in our pursuit of a more sustainable future.”
