On November 9, 2011, World Habitat Day, the SCF was launched to support and promote a business case for sustainable development and create a supportive policy and action-oriented environment for the all-round sustainable development of the Chennai Metropolitan Region. The Chamber is keen on being a leading advocate of sustainable development to make Chennai an inclusive, sustainable, clean, and green metropolis. The Chamber’s SCF also networks with like-minded institutions and organizations in this sector towards fulfilling a common long-term goal. The SCF primarily focuses on areas like Energy, Water, Waste Management, Transport, and Urban Greening. The Chamber has conducted numerous conferences under the banner of UN-Habitat, on the above-mentioned focus areas and will continue to hold a flagship event on a relevant topic every year. Further, there are numerous educative and awareness seminars held regularly. The Sustainability Series has gained attention due to the quality of topics and speakers.
