The project was conceived in the mid- 1990s when Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) director Anil Agarwal visited the United States. He read about the work of a non-governmental organisation (NGO) called the Council of Economic Priorities (CEP), which rated the social and environmental performance of industries in the US.
The award is given by CSE in recognition of the rating achieved by industries on the basis of their environmental performance in various sectors covered under Green Rating Project.
GREEN RATING NETWORK is a countrywide network of volunteers who undertake surveys and collect data on industries. Their initiatives help provide crucial plant level information to the project.
The green rating project is not a theoretical exercise which stops at rating companies. The goal of the project is to improve the environmental impacts of industry in India

The Green Rating Project (GRP) of the Centre for Science and Environment was conceived as a means to track the environmental performance of India’s key industrial sectors.
You will be apt to find, if you peeked into a backyard of a small-scale papermaking mill — like the one in Meerut shown above — imported wastepaper dumped carelessly.
