Planning for a sustainable environment
As an IT services and consulting company, our operations are people-intensive rather than resource-intensive. Our products and services contribute in developing smart and efficient solutions for the various industries they touch, thereby helping in improving resource productivity and reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions on the planet. For more information on these products, refer the Cutting edge business solutions section in this report.


The Smart 2020 report published by The Climate Group estimates that the ICT sector can contribute to reduction of GHG equal to five times its own footprint by the year 2020.


All our development centers in India except Jaipur, Gurgaon and Mangalore-Nethra are ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007 certified. There have been no sanctions for non-compliance of environmental regulation at any of our locations in India.
