Abstract
Despite an increased building occupancy, ADB headquarters has improved air quality, achieved reductions in energy, paper, water use, waste generation, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions thanks to sustainable procurement practices and its Energy, Environment, Health, and Safety Management System (E2HSMS).
