IndoSpace’s Concept towards Sustainability
- Responsible Management
- Holistic Sustainability
- Corporate Social Responsibility
- Customer Oriented
- Adaptability & Business Resilience
Sustainability serves many of our customers too. In today’s, environmental-centric world, many businesses have made sustainability a core goal. By choosing us as their industrial and logistics real estate partner, they come closer to achieving their sustainability and environmental goals. We are constantly investing and upgrading our facilities so they have a lower carbon footprint. Additionally, we are building opportunities for operational management, with advantages over cargo handling, traffic operations, storage utilisation, energy usage, and employee performance for our customers with strong sustainability-focus.
Businesses today are largely affected by new legislation, rules and trends pushing for more environmentally-friendly industries. As part of our warehouse logistics solutions, our real estate setup can adapt to new changes rapidly so clients always adhere to the norms. IndoSpace readjusted with several clients in the e-commerce space witnessing its growth during the global pandemic depicting our successful adaptation and flexibility. Our operations and processes persisted unhampered, and the essential services could maintain their operations from our parks easily without restraint.

Suppliers & Contractors
The scope of our ESG policies is not limited only to our organization. It extends and includes hundreds of vendors and suppliers and every other person we closely work with.
The evaluation system at IndoSpace begins with the Contractor Selection and Evaluation Checklist. The checklist covers aspects related to safety, gender equality, availability of policy guidelines for child labour, POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment), WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene), and the availability of any grievance redressal system.
Additionally, during the selection process, we conduct an Environmental & Social (E&S) performance evaluation and prioritise compliance with regulations.

Sustainable waste management program in Chakan.
The Swach Sundar Chakan, our earliest waste management program, aligns with the Government of India’s Swachh Bharat Mission. We executed the program for two villages in the Chakan region (Pune, Maharashtra). We also have our most considerable foothold in these two regions. This program aims at bringing about a behavioral change in the communities, in terms of responsible consumption, waste reduction, and segregation of waste at source.
The outcomes achieved at Chakan were highly positive. Our implementation partners assisted us in conducting productive diligence, monitoring, evaluation, and impact assessment. We have decided to continue working with our local communities at two more of our flagship locations – Luhari in Haryana and Oragadam, near Chennai in Tamil Nadu.
Project Unnati is our waste management program at Luhari Gram Panchayat in Haryana where we are working towards setting-up waste management infrastructure. Through this project, we intend to directly impact 2000 households.
Taking our girl education initiative forward, IndoSpace has been providing support to Avasara. Avasara is a progressive school that works with schools in Mumbai’s low-income areas to help girl students financially. These girls are worthy but stand the risk of dropping out due to financial pressures. Avasara works closely with its partner, Teach for India, to recognize and grant scholarships to exemplary girl students.
