Shree Ramkrishna Exports Pvt. Ltd. (SRK), a leading diamond company, said its 2,25,000-sq-ft diamond crafting facility SRK House has been awarded the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification with a Platinum rating by US Green Building Council (USGBC). The company said this is the highest possible rating for a sustainable and environment-friendly building.
The LEED rating system, developed by the USGBC, is the foremost certification for commercial buildings, homes and communities that are designed, constructed, and operated for improved environmental and human health performance.
Both of SRK’s diamond crafting facilities are now certified green buildings. The company’s other unit SRK Empire, became a Platinum-rated green building in 2018. SRK House implements sustainability practices like improving energy and water performance on a continual basis, promoting a healthier workplace for occupants, improving waste management performance and optimising renewable energy sources such as daylight harvesting, natural ventilation, etc.
“We are proud to see our facility recognised with the prestigious LEED certification and are thankful to our respective partners who helped make this possible,” an SRK spokesperson said.
