Savvy Greens: Leading Sustainability Consultant on a Mission to Drive Green Innovations

The sustainability consulting industry is witnessing robust growth driven by increasing awareness of environmental issues and the necessity for sustainable development. This has led to an expansion of green building certifications, enactment of eco-friendly practices and adoption of energy efficient technologies by companies and organizations to meet their customer preferences or legal requirements. A mix of services including sustainability reporting, decarbonization strategies and life cycle analysis are provided within this market. Moreover, government subsidies and international campaigns against global warming have also influenced this transition towards sustainable practices.

Nevertheless, customers often come across stumbling blocks such as expecting costly implementation, regulatory compliance, lack of knowledge on sustainable actions and finally problems encountered when quantifying the financial benefits arising from going green. Savvy Greens delivers on an extensive range of approaches from green certifications to sustainability reporting as a specialized service provider in sustainability consulting. By integrating environmentally sound practices into their everyday operations seamlessly, it assists organizations in finding ways to make them more sustainable thereby promoting innovation.

Savvy Greens, the sustainability consulting arm of Savvy Infrastructure, was born out of the real estate development experience of its parent company. This origin provides a unique advantage in understanding the developer’s perspective, allowing Savvy Greens to deliver realistic and sustainable solutions. Initially an in-house team, the firm has evolved into a leading consultancy offering comprehensive green building solutions across various market segments, including housing, office spaces, industries, and public amenities. Savvy Greens has been part of projects that have been recognized as Gujarat’s first platinum-rated green warehouse, India’s first platinum-rated green resort, and the country’s first platinum-rated green city.

These achievements highlight the firm’s expertise in delivering high-quality, sustainable projects. However, the journey has not been without challenges as a significant hurdle was the lack of awareness and understanding of sustainable practices among clients and stakeholders.
