At Puravankara, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do to create value and positive impacts for our business and stakeholders. Our approach to sustainability is guided by our key pillars of liveability, affordability, agility, and resilience, and supported by enablers such as digital technology, innovation, knowledge management, stakeholder engagement, and ESG values.
We prioritize sustainable product design and construction, with a particular focus on energy efficiency. Our homes and office buildings are designed to use less energy and use it effectively, thanks to innovations in energy-efficient appliances, automation technology, and intentional design.
There are numerous benefits to sustainable development. Socially, sustainable practices can help strengthen community bonds, improve quality of life, and provide hope for a better future. Environmentally, sustainable practices can help protect natural resources, mitigate and adapt to climate change, and promote biodiversity.
Here are some of the ways in which sustainable development can benefit us all:
- COST REDUCTION: Sustainable buildings cost less than traditional buildings because fewer resources such as water and energy are required for their completion. Moreover, sustainable buildings have great ROI, significantly increasing the value of the property.
- INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY: Environmentally friendly workspaces help employees perform better and reduce absenteeism. A better environment makes it easier to concentrate and work effectively.
- IMPROVED HEALTH: Green buildings can be beneficial to health. Sustainable materials can help purify the air, and the use of non-toxic building and furnishing materials can reduce exposure to harmful chemicals.
- WASTE MINIMIZATION: Sustainable buildings minimize waste with their lower environmental impact and use of renewable sources and materials. Recycled materials such as demolition debris, sand, and burnt coal can be used to great environmental and aesthetic effect.
- BETTER USE OF MATERIALS: Sustainable buildings manage water in a more effective and environmentally friendly manner, with systems that recycle water and collect rainwater for toilet cleaning. They can also collect and preserve natural energy such as solar or wind energy, storing it and reusing it accordingly.
- ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION: Recycled materials used during the construction process significantly contribute to the protection of the environment and the reduction of waste. Sustainable buildings can be equipped with well-insulated windows, ceilings, and walls to ensure that no energy goes to waste. In addition, the use of solar heaters, insulated air-conditioning pipes, and photovoltaic panels can make buildings more energy-efficient and less harmful to the environment.
- NOISE AVOIDANCE: Sustainable construction pays extra attention to noise avoidance. Noise can have a significant effect on a person's well-being, and sustainable construction can help ensure a peaceful and quiet environment.
- BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE: Sustainable construction has numerous benefits at every stage of a construction project. Improved health due to safer materials, increased productivity thanks to better surroundings and more effective noise protection, and reduced waste and environmental impact are just a few of the advantages. Green buildings can help improve our quality of life.
