As of now twenty six manufacturing companies in India are Green Co rated.

The Mphasis Mangalore Facility was taken as a sample and was audited over six times in the past eighteen months by CII as part of the Green Co certification process. The company was measured on nine parameters and environmental practice. The Green Co- Drivers for Excellence are - Energy Efficiency, Water Positive Status, GHG Mitigation, Waste Management, Material conservation, Recycling & Recyclability, Green Supply Chain, Renewable Energy, and Toxicity Reduction & Stewardship.
