Infosys conserves natural resources as much as possible. We follow practices to encourage sustainable lifestyles among our constituents.
We reduce our ecological footprint through several initiatives:
Green infrastructure
Our new buildings comply with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) platinum standards. We use recycled materials, source from local vendors and minimize the consumption of building material.

Energy conservation
Infosys is one of the largest consumers of solar energy in India. We used 14,517,700 kWh of green power, accounting for 6% of our consumption. Our goal is to source 20% of our energy requirements from green power by 2012.

Water sustainability
Our rainwater harvesting reservoirs at Mysore, Hyderabad, Pune, and Mangalore have a combined capacity of 300 million liters. Waste water is treated at in-house plants and recycled for landscaping and flushing.

Afforestation
Trees at our campuses exceed the number of employees. Native saplings are planted to ensure local biodiversity and water conservation. Our Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mysore, and Thiruvananthapuram DCs conduct afforestation programs.

Minimal paper usage
We reduced the use of paper by implementing PIN-based secure printing and duplex printing. Our power consumption has reduced by switching idle printers to sleep mode.

Waste management
We installed bio-gas chambers at our Pune and Mysore DCs to generate energy from organic waste for cooking. Inorganic waste is reused or recycled at all our DCs.

Influencing action
The Sustainability channel on InfyTV creates awareness about responsible consumption of resources. We produced videos on the environment, in partnership with the British Council. Our employees can measure their carbon footprint and get tips on minimizing it, using a desktop application.
