Globalization continues to unleash far-reaching changes. The biggest benefit of globalization has been the rise of companies and economies and the consequent creation of jobs. However, the most telling consequence of development has been the deterioration of the environment. As a responsible corporate citizen, Infosys believes that the environment can be a participant and a beneficiary of progress. We are reducing our carbon footprint even as we expand our global presence.
Further, Infosys wishes to be recognized by all stakeholders, including customers, employees, vendors, share owners and community at large, as a company committed to high standards of environmental management and to providing its employees, consultants and contractors with a safe and healthy environment, free of occupational injury and illness.
To achieve this, we strive toward:
- Conservation of resources
- Prevention of pollution
- Adherence to all applicable legislations
- Eliminating accidents, occupational illnesses and injuries at work
The Health, Safety and Environmental Management System (HSEMS) at Infosys is called the 'Ozone Initiative'. It is the Infosys' endeavor to have and operate a HSEMS at various locations that will conform to the ISO 14001 standards and OHSAS 18001 requirements. Infosys has been certified compliant to OHSAS 18001 and re-certified compliant to ISO 14001 standards during May 2007, in eight of our development centers across India.
We seek to change attitudes and influence actions toward the environment at the grassroots level. Our 'Project Ozone' campaign spreads environmental awareness and implements eco-friendly practices across development centers worldwide. Further, this vision is supported by voluntary groups of employees organized into eco-clubs.
Infosys' vision is to become "carbon and water neutral". We undertake several initiatives to neutralize our environmental impact:
- Water Management
Potable water is a depleting resource. We harvest rainwater and consistently reduce the use of fresh water. In addition, we recycle waste water to be reused for primary and secondary purposes. -
Energy Conservation
Infosys uses energy responsibly. We measure our utilization of energy through energy audits. The data collected is used to achieve increasing levels of energy conservation. -
Waste Management
Waste is recycled scientifically. We reduce waste, segregate it at the source and dispose it at dedicated waste segregation and processing plants at each development center.
