CII GreenPro signs MOU with Singapore Environment Council to foster collaboration on eco-labeling

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) GreenPro and the Singapore Environment Council (SEC) was signed to promote mutual recognition of ecolabel certifications and strengthen sustainable procurement practices across the Asia Pacific.

The signing of the MoU took place during the inaugural session of the two-day CII GreenPro Summit 2025 (eighth edition) under the theme “Advancing Towards Net Zero Through Low Carbon Products, Materials and Technologies”.

“Climate science tells us that the decisions we take in this decade will shape the future of the planet for decades to come. While governments worldwide are strengthening climate policies, it is the collective power of industries, innovators, and consumers that will turn these policies into reality,” said A.R. Rahul Nadh, Director, Department of Environment and Climate Change, Government of Tamil Nadu.

“GreenPro’s journey over the years reflects India’s growing commitment to sustainable consumption and production. With over 11,500 certified products from 450+ companies across 39 categories, the ecolabel has already helped reduce 7.5 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions, save 175 billion liters of water, and conserve 6,500 GWh of energy,”  Unnikrishnan, Chairman, Green Products and Services Council added.

Isabella Huang-Loh, Chairman, Singapore Environment Council  highlighted the importance of international cooperation and harmonized ecolabeling standards to build trust and scale green markets globally.

While John Deere India was bestowed with the Leadership award for “Excellence in Green Supply Chain,” Rane (Madras) Ltd. received the“Green Champion in Supply Chain” award.
