Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN)– IDLC has signed an agreement with Waste Concern Consultants recently to conduct Carbon Footprint Analysis of three IDLC branches, as part of its commitment to environmental sustainability.
Selim R.F. Hussain, CEO and Managing Director, IDLC Finance Limited and Iftekhar Enayetullah, Managing Partner, Waste Concern Consultants, represented their respective organizations in the signing ceremony.
Carbon footprint is a measure of the Green Houses Gases (GHG) emitted through day-to-day human and organizational activities. The emission data will be calculated in tons per year, and based on that, per capital GHG emission for IDLC employees will be determined.
Accordingly a carbon neutral program will be developed, detailing measures aimed at direct reduction within the organization, supplemented by green projects or initiatives outside the organization that can further neutralize IDLC’s carbon footprint.
Waste Concern Consultants is a leading consultancy firm based in Bangladesh, offering consultancy services and project assistance for capacity development with regard to environmental sustainability through better prevention, control and management approaches.
The project is due to start from February 07, 2012.
