INFOSYS
BUILDING TOMORROW'S SUSTAINABLE ENTERPRISE
CXOs are increasingly looking at Sustainability as one of the most important challenges facing their business and
also as an opportunity to build competitive advantage.
In the next few years, companies will grapple with the execution challenges of meeting Sustainability goals.
Successful execution of complex Sustainability initiatives will have a profound transformational impact and will
influence the entire ecosystem including clients, employees, partners, suppliers, local communities and society at
large.
Infosys' sustainability policy is guided by the principle of a sustainable ecosystem. It believes that our growth
should contribute to the progress of our constituents and stakeholders. Infosys has always adopted a sustainable
approach to business. It is aware that growth is inextricably linked to the well-being of our ecosystem employees and business partners, local communities and the environment.
Infosys focuses on helping clients in 'Building Tomorrow's Enterprise' and 'Sustainable Tomorrow' is central to this
strategic market focus. Their Sustainable Tomorrow framework addresses three key dimensions:

Social Contract
It addresses the need for businesses to be granted an implicit license by key stakeholders to conduct their
business in a transparent and a sustainable manner. This enhances brand value and reputation based on real
initiatives that make a real impact on environment, social and economic issues

Resource Intensity
Seeks ways to do more with less, conserving precious natural resources, eliminating waste, reusing/ recycling
raw materials and finding suitable substitutes. These include achieving energy efficiency across the enterprise,
lowering CO2 emissions to meet emerging regulations as well as lowering cost and improving efficiency

Green Innovation
Addresses issues around skill sets, innovation and collaboration frameworks, partnerships and alliances, cocreation, research and analytics. Outcomes include building new products and services for the Sustainability
market, thereby creating new engines for growth and profits

CHALLENGES

Complexity and transformative nature of enterprise-wide Sustainability initiatives: Successful

Sustainability initiatives demand an intimate understanding of the business, Sustainability goals and metrics to
measure success, enterprise data models, enterprise technology architecture and footprint, effective
communications, program and change management, and executive sponsorship

Skill scarcity: There is a scarcity of experienced Sustainability consultants in the areas of carbon
management, Sustainability reporting, green IT, energy efficiency, corporate social responsibility and related
areas.

Organizational and behavioural change: Most Sustainability initiatives need to percolate deep into
organizational processes. This will require significant employee engagement, change management, education
and training efforts.

Budgets: Organizations need to aggressively make investments in their Sustainability initiatives while
constantly driving ways to lower the cost of ownership and establish clear ROI.

OPPORTUNITIES

Align Sustainability with the organizations core strategy and values to ensure that it is a guiding
principle in all initiatives.

Build brand and reputation around Sustainability and improve engagement with employees, customers,
investors, suppliers and other stakeholders.

Tap new markets, customer segments and revenue streams through innovative new products and
services that are inspired by Sustainability goals.

Manage regulatory compliance needs and risks arising from energy and resources price / supply
volatility.
