Impact Story

C-DISC Technologies

C-DISC Technologies builds net-zero energy homes and sustainable construction solutions. They wanted to validate the ESG performance of their designs - not just at the product level but across operations and supply chains. Build To Sustain used SIM to evaluate their practices and highlight where they genuinely lead the market.

The Challenge

Beyond Energy Modelling

Sustainability Claims Gap

Many sustainability claims in the green-building space, but limited structured ESG validation to back them up.

Holistic ESG Profile

Need to go beyond energy modelling and show a holistic ESG profile - materials, labour, community, governance.

Data-Backed Positioning

Desire to use data-backed sustainability metrics in client proposals, investor discussions, and brand positioning.

Our Approach

How SIM Helped Consolidate Their Sustainability Report

The sustainability assessment of C-DISC operations was conducted using Sustainability Index Metric (SIM) for businesses. Key performance areas were thoroughly evaluated and compared with benchmark standards in India.

Key Outcomes

Environmental Impact Validated

CDISC delivers solutions that are designed to reduce environmental impact while improving efficiency and resilience.

Lower Material Consumption Pre-engineered systems and optimised structural designs significantly reduce materials used
Minimised Waste Integrated foundations and streamlined approaches reduce site disturbance and waste
Shorter Construction Timelines Leading to lower energy use and reduced emissions from machinery and transportation
Disaster Resilience

CDISC's focus on disaster-resilient structures strengthens long-term sustainability by extending building lifespans and reducing the need for frequent reconstruction - which is both resource-intensive and environmentally damaging.
