Each rating system is divided into the levels of: ‘Certified’ to recognise best practices, ‘Silver’ to recognise outstanding performance, ‘Gold’ to recognise national excellence, and ‘Platinum’ to recognise global leadership.

Mr. Parasuraman, Chairman, Conserve, is also the Founding Chairman of IGBC and has shaped the direction of the green building movement in India. His leadership and guidance has enabled Conserve to develop its own unique approach in delivering sustainable value additions to the client’s projects and business processes.
