The fifth and final paper in Xynteo’s Future of Mobility series, Charging Infrastructure for Electrification of Road Transport, turns the spotlight on the often-overlooked final pillar—decommissioning and recommissioning.
Build Ahead’s latest working paper explores how India’s green housing finance ecosystem can evolve to unlock sustainable growth in the built environment, and maps current financing instruments, assesses institutional readiness and identifies pathways to scale certified green lending through collaboration among financiers, developers and certification bodies. This marks the first step towards a shared roadmap for mainstreaming green capital in India’s construction and real estate sectors.
India is entering one of the largest construction cycles in history—amid intensifying climate risks and a fast-approaching net-zero horizon. With embodied carbon already accounting for around 30% of built environment emissions—and set to reach 50% by 2050—there’s an urgent need to decarbonise the materials that shape our cities. Cement and concrete alone contribute roughly 45% of a building’s embodied carbon. …
India is at a pivotal moment in the green hydrogen transition. With world-class renewable resources, deep engineering capabilities, and a fast-maturing innovation ecosystem, the country can lead the next wave of clean industrial growth. The question is no longer “if” — it’s “how fast” we can move from promising prototypes to commercial deployment at scale.
Rather than simply meeting regulatory demands, companies must harness sustainability data to unlock value, accelerate innovation and build long-term resilience. Through dynamic discussions and hands-on exercises, participants at KEY ESG’s Sustainability Unlocked explored how to turn reporting obligations into opportunities for competitive advantage.
Meet Sam Preece, Xynteo’s newest Partner, a sustainability veteran with an impressive 25-year career that’s seen him navigate the complex worlds of investment funds, global consultancies like PwC, and leadership roles at major firms such as AECOM.
As EV adoption surges, the true test of clean mobility is no longer vision—it’s usability. Are chargers installed on time? Do they work reliably? Can drivers pay easily, see real‑time availability, and trust support when something fails? Without a seamless installation and usage experience, networks risk low utilisation, higher costs, and stalled deployment.
Mining remains one of India’s most critical sectors—powering energy security, supplying essential raw materials, and generating over 10 million jobs annually, particularly in remote and tribal regions. Yet, at just 1.5% of GDP, India’s mining sector delivers far less value than other mineral-rich geographies like Australia and Canada.
ICE Pharma is moving decisively to embed sustainability at the core of its business—strengthening resilience, sharpening competitiveness, and preparing for the next wave of regulation. Read how Xynteo helped refreshed its sustainability agenda to 2027, and what Luca Saratello, Chief Sustainability & Procurement Officer, ICE Pharma, has to say about the process.
As the electrification of road transport accelerates, the challenge of planning and deploying EV charging infrastructure at scale is moving from ambition to urgent reality. The stakes are clear: without smarter, standardised approaches to rollout, the clean mobility transition risks being slowed by fragmented standards, grid bottlenecks, and misaligned investments.
As India accelerates its journey toward net zero, the decarbonisation of its petroleum refining and petrochemical sector stands as a critical frontier. Yet, the transition is complex. The sector faces a unique set of challenges: high capital costs, evolving policy frameworks, and the need for robust supply chains and infrastructure.
Earth Overshoot Day is a stark reminder that humanity, yet again, will have exhausted nature’s annual bounty and begun to accrue an ecological debt. But this date, while sobering, is also a powerful call to action. It’s a precise measure of our challenge and, crucially, a target for our collective ambition. How do we #MoveTheDate?
