The document discusses sustainability practices in the global and Indian cable industries. It provides details on sustainability initiatives by major global cable companies like Prysmian Group, General Cable, and Nexans, which include adopting sustainability reporting guidelines, reducing carbon footprint through initiatives like recycling and using recycled materials, and obtaining environmental certifications. It also outlines sustainability trends in major Indian cable companies such as Havells India, Polycab, Sterlite Technologies, and others focused on areas like renewable energy products, afforestation, health and education. Global firms are more focused on formal sustainability reporting and recycling while Indian firms emphasize local communities and electrical access.

Green IT (Information Technology) or Green Technology refers to the durable computing of the environment which means eco-friendly use of computers, and it’s related resources.
Technologies, Strategies And Algorithm In Green Computing – Solution To Energ...IJERA Editor
A safe and non-polluted environment is the basic need of a living being. But today the situation is getting changed. Our environment is getting polluted day by day at a very high rate. The use of computing devices plays a vital role in harmfulness of environment. To reduce these harmful impacts the concept of Green Computing must be implemented. In this research paper, we includes some technologies, strategies and algorithm which are used for the implementation of green computing. The main reason is the awareness of a common user. If a common user is getting aware about the harmful impacts of use of computing devices over environment and takes some steps at own level to reduce electricity, the concept of green computing will be implemented.
International Journal of Engineering Research and Applications (IJERA) is an open access online peer reviewed international journal that publishes research and review articles in the fields of Computer Science, Neural Networks, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Plastic Engineering, Food Technology, Textile Engineering, Nano Technology & science, Power Electronics, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Computational mathematics, Image processing, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Environmental Engineering, VLSI Testing & Low Power VLSI Design etc.
The report documents ELCC’s experience in developing and implementing a comprehensive plan of action to go green to help frame best practices in this area and spread it allover the industry.
About Godrej Green Building Consultancy Services:
We have a dedicated team of about 70 experienced technocrats to provide green building design consultancy in sync with the client’s project objectives.
More than 200 projects have been Certified / Pre-certified, of which over 75 are Platinum rated projects and 100 are Gold rated projects.
We provide following services to real estate developers, architects, multinational banks, institutions like schools and hospitals, hotels, malls and factories.
• Green Building Design Consultancy
A hand holding exercise, assisting and guiding the project team towards environmentally benign Design for Green Building Certification.
• MEP Design Consultancy
Design services in area of Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC), Electricals, Fire Protection, Plumbing, Building Automation, Other Low voltage Systems like Fire Detection & Alarm, Public Address, Access Control, CCTV monitoring, Data & Voice Evacuation etc.
• Building Information Modeling
Building information modelling (BIM) is the process developing a virtual, three-dimensional, information rich model to design, construct and maintain a building project
• Building Simulations
Building simulation is a software based analysis to optimize energy efficiency and climate responsive building design from design development stage itself. Conduct whole building simulation to assist architects, consultants and project team to decide on design strategies, achieve overall energy efficiency, selection of building materials and reducing the operation cost of a project.
• Building Commissioning Services
A systematic process to verify and document the building energy performance as designed to meet the owner’s requirements.
• Third Party Audits
It is a physical inspection and analysis of energy, water, fire and/ or waste management systems. Such analysis facilitates the end user to improve its operating efficiency and reduces wastage of precious resources.
Presently most electrical/electronic equipment (EEE) is not designed for recycling, let alone for circulation. Plastics in these products account for 20% of material use, and through better design, significant environmental and financial savings could be gained.
Technological solutions and circular design opportunities already exist, but they haven’t been implemented yet.
Some challenges, such as ease of disassembly, could be resolved through better communication and by sharing learnings across the value chain.
Instead of WEEE, we should focus on developing CEEE: Circular Electrical and Electronic Equipment.
The case examples of this report show how different stages of the lifecycle can be designed so that plastics circulation becomes possible and makes business sense.

OUVINTES OU INTERNAUTAS? AS TRANSFORMAÇÕES DO MEIO RÁDIO PROPORCIONADAS PE...Thiago Aisengart Accioly
Estudo sobre o nascimento do webradio como uma nova mídia ímpar na evolução tecnológico-digital do fim do século XX e início do século XXI. Com o propósito de se analisar de que forma o webradio é classificado dentro dos meios de comunicação (se este se figura como meio de comunicação ou não), esse trabalho toma como base fundamental as teorias de cibercultura e Internet que, por exemplo, Castells, Pierre Lévy, Lúcia Santaella, Marshall McLuhan e Deleuze e Guattari, formularam em suas pesquisas e estudos. Parte-se da premissa de que, com o surgimento da Internet, os meios de comunicações de massa tiverem de se adaptar frente a nova realidade cibernética que alterou os modos de comportamento comunicacionais e os próprios meios de comunicação. Nesse sentido, o rádio convencional teve também de se adaptar, de certa forma e em certa medida, resultando no webradio. Esse estudo tem como enfoque principal, ainda, analisar se as pessoas que ouvem rádio via Internet figuram- se como ouvintes propriamente dito ou como internautas. Dessa maneira, estudaram-se teorias sobre cibercidade, tendências dos internautas e foram realizadas entrevistas com profissionais da área de Internet e webradio e questionário com internautas.

LYCRA® AquaNRG technology - Rob Dewhurst, INVISTALYCRAbrand
INVISTA stepped up its sustainability programme as it progresses towards lowering its energy intensity by 20% by 2020, with the launch of a water-saving, cost-saving technology for garment manufacturers. LYCRA® AcquaNRG technology is designed to save up to 30% of water used during the dyeing process and reduce the overall time it takes to dye materials by up to two hours. The new technology also reduces the number of chemicals needed to dye materials and lowers the energy used to run machines and heat up water, thus reducing the overall cost of manufacturing.

13. Comparison between Indian and Global Firms
• Indian firms although active in sustainability practices, only gained impetus
post Companies Act, 2013
• More emphasis given to rural India, particularly in developing electrical
solutions suited to them.
• Global brands , being cash rich, however have focused more on
environment and invested heavily in developing greener solutions.
• Recycling is a focus given more in Global firms than in Indian ones.
• Solutions in India are more localized to the country. However that is not
the case for Global firms.
• G4 Sustainability reporting guidelines are a norm in Global firms and not so
much in the Indian ones
