The theme is very apt in present scenario of spiraling energy cost, growing concern about environment and increasing consumer demand for the eco-friendly products. The summit would not only focus on just products which are environment friendly but also processes and the complete value chain that will be sustainable- in other words ‘green’. ‘Green Manufacturing’ would mean incorporating good economic, social and environmental principles into products and services, long-term business planning, day-to-day operations and interactions with customers and suppliers. 

This summit aims at promoting green manufacturing in India and creating better awareness about the same in the Indian industry. It also aims to give an insight of what is happening across the globe in the area of green manufacturing. 

Indian government is already focusing on green technology and green manufacturing as indicative from recent discussion paper on ‘National Manufacturing Policy’ prepared by DIPP. This summit will complement Indian government efforts of promoting India as Green manufacturing location.
