Mindspace Business Parks REIT has been recognised at the India Sustainability Awards 2026 for its leadership in advancing sustainability and ESG excellence in the real-estate sector. The recognition was presented during the 18th CSR Leadership Summit 2026, held at Rungta International Skills University, Bhilai.

The summit was organised around the theme, “CSR, Sustainability and ESG for Viksit Bharat 2047.”
Net-Zero Sustainability Roadmap
Mindspace REIT’s sustainability strategy is anchored in its Net Carbon Zero 2042 target, aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The organisation has also achieved a significant milestone, with 99.9% of its assets green-certified.
The recognition reflects the company’s approach to making sustainability a central part of asset development and management. By integrating environmental performance with long-term operational planning, Mindspace REIT is working to create infrastructure that is more efficient, resilient and responsive to future climate challenges.
Technology-Led ESG Solutions
The jury noted Mindspace REIT’s innovation-led and data-driven approach to sustainability management. Key interventions include the Infrastructure Monitoring Operational Centre (IMOC), advanced energy-optimisation systems and circular solutions such as Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) composting.
These initiatives demonstrate how technology and operational innovation can support measurable ESG outcomes. IMOC helps strengthen infrastructure monitoring and performance management, while energy-optimisation systems support more efficient consumption across assets. BSFL composting offers a circular solution for organic waste management, helping reduce waste while creating useful by-products.
Measurable Environmental Impact
Mindspace REIT’s ESG performance includes a 32.2% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, increasing use of renewable energy, strong water-circularity practices and zero-fatality operations.
The company’s strategy reflects an effort to link sustainability commitments with measurable performance across energy, emissions, water, safety and resource management. Such indicators are increasingly important for real-estate organisations as investors, tenants, regulators and communities expect stronger transparency and accountability.
Governance And People
The recognition also acknowledges Mindspace REIT’s focus on capacity building, ESG-linked leadership performance and stakeholder engagement. By integrating ESG priorities into leadership frameworks and employee participation, the organisation is building a sustainability model that can be implemented across teams and business functions.
This people-led approach is essential for ensuring that sustainability remains embedded in everyday decisions rather than being treated as a standalone compliance function. It also creates the foundation for continuous improvement across the company’s portfolio.
Leadership Perspective
Rusen Kumar, Founder & Editor, India CSR®, said, “Mindspace REIT demonstrates that the future of real estate will be defined not only by the spaces we build, but by the responsibility with which we build them. Its Net Carbon Zero 2042 pathway, technology-enabled resource efficiency and strong ESG governance set a meaningful benchmark for sustainable urban development in India.”
The recognition at the India Sustainability Awards 2026 positions Mindspace Business Parks REIT as an important example of how real-estate companies can combine climate ambition, operational innovation and measurable ESG performance to contribute to India’s sustainable urban future.
