About CII

About CII-Godrej GBC

About Asia-Pacific Partnership

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) works to create and sustain an environment conducive to the growth of industry in India,

partnering industry and government alike through advisory and consultative processes.

CII is a non-government, not-for-profit, industry led and industry managed organisation, playing a proactive role in India's

development process. Founded over 113 years ago, it is India's premier business association, with a direct membership of over 7500

organisations from the private as well as public sectors, including SMEs and MNCs, and an indirect membership of over 83,000

companies from around 380 national and regional sectoral associations.

CII catalyses change by working closely with government on policy issues, enhancing efficiency, competitiveness and expanding

business opportunities for industry through a range of specialised services and global linkages. It also provides a platform for sectoral

consensus building and networking. Major emphasis is laid on projecting a positive image of business, assisting industry to identify and

execute corporate citizenship programmes. Partnerships with over 120 NGOs across the country carry forward our initiatives in

integrated and inclusive development, which include health, education, livelihood, diversity management, skill development and

water, to name a few.

Complementing this vision, CII's theme "India@75: The Emerging Agenda", reflects its aspirational role to facilitate the acceleration in

India's transformation into an economically vital, technologically innovative, socially and ethically vibrant global leader by year 2022.

With 64 offices in India, 9 overseas in Australia, Austria, China, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore, UK, USA and institutional

partnerships with 211 counterpart organisations in 87 countries, CII serves as a reference point for Indian industry and the

international business community.

CII – Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre (CII – Godrej GBC), a division of Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is India's premier

developmental institution, offering advisory services to the industry on environmental aspects and works in the areas of Green

Buildings, Energy Efficiency, Water Management, Renewable Energy, Green Business Incubation and Climate Change activities.

The Centre sensitises key stakeholders to embrace green practices and facilitates market transformation, paving way for India to

become one of the global leaders in green businesses by 2015.

The Asia Pacific Partnership on Clean Development & Climate is an innovative new effort to accelerate the development and

deployment of clean energy technologies. APP partners Australia, Canada, China, India, Japan, Republic of Korea and The United

States have agreed to work together and with private sector partners to meet goals for energy security, national air pollution

reduction, and climate change in ways that promote sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction.

The partners will also cooperate on the development, diffusion and deployment of longer-term transformational energy technologies

that will promote economic growth while enabling significant reductions in green house gas intensities. The partnership will be

consistent with and contribute to partners' efforts under the UNFCCC and will compliment, but not replace the Kyoto protocol.

“Foster GHG Emission Reduction Technologies in Indian Cement Industry” is an initiative of CII-Godrej GBC to carry out GHG emission

inventorization in Indian Cement plants and explore & identify possible opportunities to reduce the same. This activity s supported

and part funded by U.S Department of State as part of the Asia Pacific Partnership (APP) on Clean Development and Climate. This event

is one of a number of public awareness programs planned as part of this project.

In the wake of the global crisis gripping the economy and affecting the bottom-line of companies, optimum utilization of energy and resources has gained prime importance. The efficient use of energy in a company noticeably reduces operating costs and at the same time efficient use of energy strengthens the company's competitiveness. Beyond this, energy efficiency makes an important contribution to the mitigation of climate change.

CII in its endeavors to encourage, support and applaud the efforts of the industry in conserving energy and natural resources is organizing the 10th Annual National Award for Excellence in Energy Management 2009.
