WOBO recognises that the IGBC Green Logistics Parks and Warehouses rating system addresses the three pillars of sustainability i.e. Social, Environmental and Economical; thereby, the logistics park and warehouse projects going green can have multi-fold tangible and intangible benefits.
The tangible benefits include reduction in water and energy consumption right from day one of occupancy. The energy savings could range from 20-30% and potable water savings around 30-40%; along with, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, optimised lead time and enhanced storage space utilization.
The intangible benefits include conservation of scarce national resources, better health & well-being of occupants and higher productivity of workforce.
The Logistics ecosystem plays a key role in driving the economy of the country. An efficient, effective and robust logistics ecosystem can have a domino effect on the socio-economic growth of a region/country. India with its vast road & rail network, coastline and airports provides an ideal platform for logistics operation. With thrust on few key policies and automation, the logistics sector in India is booming.
