The plant is expected to reduce 575 tons of CO2 emission per year,” said Mike Holland, CEO, Embassy Office Parks.
He further said, “As a responsible developer and asset manager Embassy Office Parks is exploring multiple ways of enhancing sustainability efforts across our development portfolio. Our projects have been designed and built to be environment friendly; and our commitment to sustainability programs is ongoing. We believe such programs need to be a continuing focus – both for us and our clients occupying space in our office parks. The launch of this rooftop solar project at Embassy Manyata Business Park is a step in this direction and we will continue to invest in such programs.”
