Prestige Park Grove and Lavender Fields Win 2026 British Safety Council Sword of Honour

What happened

Prestige Group announced on 27 October 2026 that it had won two 2026 Sword of Honour awards from the British Safety Council. One award is for Prestige Park Grove in Whitefield, East Bengaluru, and the other is for Prestige Lavender Fields in Varthur, Bengaluru. The awards recognise excellence in managing workplace health and safety risks.

Prestige was one of about 80 organisations to earn a Sword of Honour in 2026. The qualification period ran from 1 August 2025 to 31 July 2026. The 2026 awards mark the 47th consecutive year in which the British Safety Council has presented the Sword of Honour.

How the award works

To be eligible, an organisation must first achieve the maximum five stars in the British Safety Council's health and safety management audit scheme. It must then show an independent panel of experts that it manages health and safety across the whole business, from operational teams to board-level oversight.

The application must relate to a specific site, and that site must have received a Five Star outcome in the audit. This is why the two awards are tied to Park Grove and Lavender Fields individually.

What company leaders said

Rezwan Razack, Joint Managing Director of Prestige Group, said that safety is fundamental to how the company plans, builds and manages its developments. He said the awards for both projects reflect the commitment of the teams and their focus on keeping high safety standards.

V. Gopal, Executive Director of Prestige Group, said the two awards reflect the weight the company gives to turning safety commitments into consistent practice on site. He said strong safety performance depends on robust systems, disciplined execution, employee engagement and the participation of every stakeholder.

Peter McGettrick, Chairman of the British Safety Council, congratulated Prestige Group and said the recognition required dedication and professionalism.

The two projects

Prestige Park Grove, Whitefield. The project is located in Seegehalli, Chikka Banahalli Road area, Whitefield, East Bengaluru. It is under construction and was 58% complete in the June 2026 quarter. The project includes 19 towers and villa options.

Prestige Lavender Fields, Varthur. The project is on Gunjur Varthur Main Road, Varthur, Bengaluru 560087. It has 6 towers and 1,473 registered units. It is under construction, with completion registered for May 2027.

What it means for buyers and investors

The awards concern workplace health and safety management on the two sites. They do not relate to a sale, launch, pricing or possession date, and the announcement does not change any of those terms for either project.

Buyers evaluating either project should still rely on the project's RERA registration, sale agreement and the builder's stated timelines. Possession dates listed on property portals differ from one another, so the registered RERA timeline is the more reliable reference.

The award is also specific to Prestige. RMZ Ecoworld 30 and RMZ Infinity, both in Bengaluru, were named 2026 Sword of Honour winners on the same day under a different developer.

What comes next

Prestige Group has said it will continue to focus on proactive risk management and improvement. No dated follow-up step has been announced. The next formal milestones for the two projects are the completion stages already registered, with Park Grove at 58% complete as of the June 2026 quarter and Lavender Fields registered for completion in May 2027.
