Beyond Squarefeet Partners with Terracon Ecotechto Develop Sustainable Mall Concepts

By IMAGES Retail Bureau

Beyond Squarefeet, a mall advisory company

that offers end-to end solutions in specialised

areas of shopping malls, realised the global

need for sustainability and with an intention to

introduce global models of sustainability to the

still nascent Indian mall industry, Beyond

Squarefeet adds one more feather to its array of

services; Beyond Squarefeet has partnered with

Terracon Ecotech and together the two firms

aim to evaluate, support and implement

economically viable, low-carbon, ecological and

sustainable concepts and solutions for

shopping centre/mall developers.

Terracon Ecotech, an ecological and

sustainability solutions service provider has been associated with several infrastructure projects from

base line studies to planning and executing ecological and resource management solutions. It is the

first agency to offer tree census activity using geoinformatics to local bodies and created India’s first

City Biodiversity Index (CBI) for a city using Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) platform and tool.

It has also initiated tree species specific cabron absorption and valuation research project for

propogating the importance of trees in urban planning and greenbelt development. Terracon Ecotech

has also created India’s first Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) with international norms for the extractive

industry and is at the cusp of providing solutions for CSR obligations of the industry by maintsreaming

environmental sustainability projects with business operations for reducing social and environmental

risks for the industry.

Environmental sustainability forces businesses to look beyond making short term gains and look at the

long term impact they are having on the society. Shopping malls have off-late become an inevitable part

of our society and community. They have become more of a social destination than a destination for

just shopping. Generally, malls are perceived to be major energy consuming and waste/pollution

generating from all aspects such as noise, heat, air, greenhouse gases, water etc. With the increasing

environmental concerns and international pressure on creating sustainable and environment friendly

development, Malls are the next crucial area for implementing required sustainable solutions. The need

for Sustainable Malls has become the need of the hour and an inevitable business proposition.

Speaking on this development Dr. Ramesh Madav, Chairman, Terracon Ecotech said “As a mall

developer one should invest in developing sustainable and responsible malls as malls are integral part

of the social and economic activity and it is imperative for them to look at environmental aspects as

well. We would offer solutions that would make malls greener with reduced carbon, waste and water

footprint, improving its operational efficiency and profitability”.

Susil Dungarwal, Chief Mall Mechanic, Beyond Squarefeet said “Together with Terracon Ecotech, we

aim to destroy the myth that creating a Mall with principles of sustainability is an expensive and

cumbersome affair. In fact, Sustainable Mall will not only be environmentally responsible but financially

sustainable too”.

Walmart India has appointed Pooja Malik

as the Vice President, Business

Development.
