The U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Green Building Council, along with the China Green Building Conference, have awarded the Shanghai Engine Center with Leadership on Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification. The joint venture of Pratt & Whitney and China Eastern Airlines becomes the first facility in China to receive the Platinum rating. U.S. Green Building Council CEO Rick Fedrizzi says that the Shanghai center “will serve as a leading example for other facilities within China when pursuing energy saving integration with operational efficiency.” More than 5,000 sites are LEED-certified throughout the world, while only five percent have achieved the Platinum rating.

ITC's Hotel Royal Gardenia Becomes the World's Largest LEED Platinum Rated Green Hotel
ITC's new luxury hotel in Bengaluru, the ITC Hotel Royal Gardenia was conferred the highest rating for green buildings in the world - the LEED India Platinum Rating. This recognition makes it the world's largest platinum rated hotel and is yet another manifestation of ITC's leadership in Sustainability Practices. ITC is the only company in the world to be carbon positive, water positive and solid waste recycling positive.
The LEED Platinum Rating for the ITC Hotel is one more green milestone close on the heels of the ITC Green Centre in Gurgaon which was the world's first largest green building. This Centre was chosen by the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to announce her vision on Indo-US collaboration on Climate Change during her last visit to India. After a tour of the building she called it the "Monument to the Future". ITC's exemplary commitment to green practices have also enabled its hotel in Kolkata - the ITC Hotel Sonar - to be the only hotel in the world to earn carbon credits. In keeping with the ITC Commitment to the "Triple Bottomline" philosophy, ITC Hotels has aspired to be an 'exemplar' in the service sector and truly provides leadership to positive environmental action in a sustainable manner.
The ITC Royal Gardenia is an inclusive blend of contemporary design and international green practices, a beacon in a bustling urban environment. Built on the ethos of "Responsible Luxury" the hotel has adopted contemporary 'Green Practices' that harness the element of nature in an inspired setting to deliver unique guest experiences.
