About the India Green Awards

The India Green Awards stand as one of the nation’s foremost recognitions in the field of environmental achievement, shining a spotlight on exceptional contributions across a spectrum of critical areas—sustainability, climate innovation, ESG frameworks, eco-friendly construction, renewable energy adoption, and effective waste management. More than just an awards ceremony, the platform fosters a robust community by uniting a diverse cohort of changemakers: visionary individuals, progressive corporations, agile startups, nonprofit organizations, and forward-thinking institutions—all committed to driving social impact and environmental excellence in India.


Functioning as a dynamic event-organizing platform, the India Green Awards not only celebrate past accomplishments but also serve as a catalyst for new ideas and leadership in environmental and sustainable development.

The recognition cultivates a spirit of collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and friendly competition among the awardees and stakeholders, helping India move collectively toward a cleaner, healthier, and more resilient future.
