The LEED certification was achieved with minimal incremental investment thanks to the optimised design of the factory’s ventilation and lighting system. Once again, this demonstrates that investing into a good design at the outset pays rich dividends in the end.”

The Hirdaramani Woven Puthukudiyruppu facility scores high on sustainable use of resources. It achieves a high rate for water efficiency, substantial reduction in energy use, use of recycled materials in its construction, good indoor air quality and as a result, achieved operational efficiency and reduced its carbon footprint.
