Corporate Social Responsibility
At Infosys, the distribution of wealth is as important as its legal and ethical creation. A strong sense of social responsibility is therefore an integral part of our value system.
We are committed to contributing to the society and established the Infosys Foundation in 1996 as a not-for-profit trust to support our social initiatives. The Foundation supports programs and organizations devoted to the cause of the destitute, the rural poor, the mentally challenged, and the economically disadvantaged sections of the society.
The Foundation also helps preserve certain cultural forms and dying arts of India. Grants to the Foundation aggregated Rs. 19 crore during the fiscal year 2007, as compared to Rs. 13 crore in the previous year.
Community service
Through our Computers@Classrooms initiative launched in January 1999, we donated 2,567 computers to various institutions across India. Additionally, we have applied to the relevant authorities for permission to donate computers to educational institutions on an ongoing basis in the future. Microsoft Corporation continues to participate in this initiative by donating relevant software. We would like to place on record our appreciation for their continued support.
Social commitment in education
Infosys' Education & Research group has the pride of anchoring the Infosys Extension Program (IEP), which consists of the Infosys Fellowship Program, Rural Reach program, Catch Them Young and Train the Trainer.
