Sustainability at SKV

Building workspaces that matter, responsibly.

We measure our full greenhouse-gas footprint every year under the GHG Protocol and publish it here, openly, because a credible climate commitment starts with honest numbers.

Calendar Year 2025 · GHG Protocol

9,415tonnes CO₂e · total footprint

Measured across Scope 1, Scope 2 and six Scope 3 categories, covering our Gurugram head office and project operations under our operational control.

01 · The footprint

Emissions by scope

Every corporate footprint splits into three scopes: what we burn, what we plug in, and everything up and down our value chain.

Scope 1 · Direct
Fuel burned by our diesel generators and company vehicles
34
tonnes CO₂e

0.4% of footprint

Scope 2 · Electricity
Purchased grid electricity at our offices (location-based)
319
tonnes CO₂e

3.4% of footprint

Scope 3 · Value chain
Materials we procure, travel, commuting, waste and end-of-life
9,062
tonnes CO₂e

96.2% of footprint

02 · Where it comes from

Inside Scope 3

Like most project-delivery businesses, nearly all of our footprint sits in the materials and services we procure for client projects, which is why our reduction focus is on low-carbon material choices, not just our own offices.

All values in tonnes CO₂e for CY2025, rounded. Purchased goods & services estimated from procurement activity using internationally recognised spend-based emission factors.

03 · The commitment

Our science-based target

Validated by the Science Based Targets initiative

Our target follows the SBTi SME pathway and is aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5 °C, the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement.

−42%

Absolute reduction in Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 2030, from our 2024 base year.

2024

Base year for our inventory: every year is measured and compared against it to track progress.

Scope 3

Committed to measuring and reducing value-chain emissions, our largest lever as a design & build firm.

Target validated under the SBTi SME route; progress reported annually against the 2024 inventory.

04 · The plan

How we’re reducing

Lower-carbon electricity

Evaluating rooftop solar, green power procurement and renewable energy certificates for our offices.

Energy efficiency

Periodic energy audits, efficient lighting, HVAC optimisation and stricter shutdown practices for idle equipment.

Low-carbon materials

BOQ-level material tracking to identify high-emission categories and prefer recycled, certified and responsibly sourced materials.

Less waste on projects

Better material planning, reuse of leftover materials and vendors who can confirm recycling or responsible disposal.

Smarter travel

Virtual-first meetings, consolidated travel planning, economy-class flights and sustainable stays.

Cleaner commuting

Encouraging public transport, shared mobility and EV adoption, and exploring shared EV transport on major routes.
