Sustainability
LEED Silver certified Green Campus
The Green talk at HITAM is an evergreen fad across the campus and an extension of our mindful actions. HITAM stands as India’s first educational institution to receive a LEED silver certificate from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). You can count on us when we say that the grass is greener on every side of our campus.
HITAM has evolved a comprehensive approach to implement sustainable measures, introduce an elective on sustainability, encourage student projects, emphasize Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), raise awareness about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), and support career development in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) compliance.
