August 20, 2009 (FinancialWire) — iGATE (NASDAQ: iGTE), the Integrated Technology and Operations (iTOPS) company announced the official inauguration of Phase 1 of its eco-friendly Global Delivery facility in Chennai, India.

Located in the Special Economic Zone at DLF IT Park, Manapakkam, the new facility is an extension to iGATE’s existing two Global Delivery facilities in the city. Significant effort has been made to create a green workplace by designing and equipping the premises with a number of “go green” features such as extensive use of LED lighting; a state-of-the-art air conditioning system and a gas flooding fire prevention system to drastically reduce power consumption. In addition, a new generation building automation control system has been installed to regulate and optimize energy management.

“We are very passionate about reducing the carbon footprint and therefore are proud to have created a new eco-friendly environment in Chennai, which continues to play a significant role in our growth,” said Phaneesh Murthy, CEO, iGATE Corp.. “The new premises consume 30 percent less energy compared with our existing facilities here.”

iGATE takes its corporate responsibility towards environment conservation seriously. This also helps it to align better with many of its ‘carbon neutral’ global clients. The company has taken on a carbon footprint estimation study to determine the Green House Gas inventory across all its Global Delivery facilities in India, Australia and Mexico.
