Reduce: Institutional climate action

Advancing sustainable infrastructure

Infosys continues to lead in advancing high-performance buildings by embedding sustainability at every stage of infrastructure development. Our campuses are designed to deliver superior energy and resource efficiency while fostering healthy, employee-centric environments.

By integrating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) into design and procurement decisions, we actively reduce embodied carbon and drive more responsible material choices.

Sustainability is integrated into workplace retrofits, embedding energy efficiency, resource optimization, and occupant well-being into the modernization of existing infrastructure. This forward-looking approach ensures our built environment remains resilient, future-ready, and aligned to our long-term climate commitments.

Free cooling through climate-smart design

Hyderabad’s moderate climate enables the use of climate-responsive cooling strategies that significantly reduce reliance on energy-intensive mechanical systems. The new building at our Hyderabad campus leverages naturally cool ambient conditions by incorporating cooling tower-based free cooling, lowering energy consumption during winter and moderate climates, and easing cooling loads in the summer.

This approach has contributed to approximately 15% reduction and is expected to lower annual cooling energy use.

Radiant heating – The new norm

Infosys has pioneered the adoption of radiant cooling across more than 5 mn sq.ft. of office space through its patented Radiflux radiant baffle system. Designed to address diverse climatic needs, the system efficiently supports both cooling and heating requirements using the same infrastructure.

While cooling remains the primary need in Indian office environments, certain locations require heating during select months. By leveraging the same radiant panels for both functions in our upcoming campus in Noida, we have eliminated the need for separate, conventional heating systems. This integrated approach significantly improves energy efficiency and operational simplicity.

The radiant heating capability offers the potential to reduce energy consumption by approximately 70% compared to traditional resistance‑based heating systems. This innovation exemplifies Infosys’ commitment to design‑led efficiency while enhancing occupant comfort.

Recycled steel

Infosys integrates Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) into the design and construction of its campuses to address embodied carbon (associated with materials and construction), long before a building becomes operational. This approach is critical because embodied carbon can account for a significant share of a building’s total lifetime emissions. Steel alone contributes over one-third of embodied carbon in commercial buildings. Conventional primary steel manufacturing emits around 2.5 tCO₂e per tonne of steel, whereas recycled, secondary steel emits significantly less— typically 1 to 1.5 tCO₂e per tonne.

Guided by LCA insights, Infosys prioritized low‑carbon and circular material choices for its new building in Hyderabad, substituting 38% of primary steel with recycled secondary steel, while ensuring quality, safety, and structural performance standards. By embedding these considerations into procurement and design decisions, Infosys demonstrates how LCA‑led infrastructure development reduces upfront emissions.

Path to RE100

Renewable electricity forms the backbone of Infosys’ operational decarbonization strategy, enabling significant reductions in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and reinforcing the Company’s leadership in sustainable operations.

As of FY26, 81.8% of the electricity powering Infosys’ India operations is sourced from renewable energy — a milestone that underscores the scale and pace of the Company’s transition.

This achievement positions us strongly on our journey toward our RE100 commitment to source 100% renewable electricity by 2030.

Infosys has built one of the most robust corporate renewable energy portfolios in the country, with 62.42 MWp of installed solar PV capacity.

Every new infrastructure development at Infosys now integrates solar rooftops as a design mandate, ensuring renewable energy expansion is embedded into future growth rather than added retrospectively.

Additionally, we are securing clean electricity through long-term renewable energy purchase agreements and grid‑connected green power programs.

Metro connectivity to reduce Scope 3 emissions at scale

Employee commuting is a significant contributor to Scope 3 emissions, particularly in large urban centers where private vehicle usage dominates. Public transportation systems, such as metro rail offer a structurally lower‑emission alternative, moving large volumes of people with significantly lower energy use and emissions per passenger.

Metro connectivity

Prime Minister Narendra Modi flags off the Bangalore Metro's new line on August 10, 2025.

Metro‑based commuting has the potential to avoid approximately 72% of emissions compared to equivalent two‑ and four‑wheeler travel, making this initiative a material contributor to reducing Scope 3 emissions.

At its Bengaluru headquarters, Infosys has gone beyond encouraging adoption of public transport by investing directly in enabling low‑carbon mobility. Infosys partnered with local authorities to create a dedicated, seamless access pathway from the station into the campus. This initiative helps in reducing the use of privately-owned vehicles, thereby reducing emissions.

Importantly, the impact extends beyond Infosys. The metro station and access infrastructure benefit a large section of the workforce in Electronic City, improving equitable access to public transport at scale. Infosys continues to promote sustainable urban mobility by supporting the adoption of public transportation systems, including metro rail networks, across cities in India.

By enabling access and encouraging behavioral change, we strive to reduce commuting-related emissions while advancing cleaner, more efficient urban ecosystems.

Energy management system

As a demonstration of our commitment to environmental stewardship and to driving positive outcomes, we implemented an Energy Management System and achieved ISO 50001:2018 certification for our Bengaluru and Mysuru campuses during the year. We plan to continue improving our sustainability initiatives by including other locations in the certification process in a phased manner. This has enabled us to focus our efforts on improving energy efficiency, energy performance, and energy consumption.

We have established objectives and implemented energy-efficient projects through management programs for continual improvement of our energy management system, which includes, but is not limited to:

  • Retrofits in HVAC – Chiller efficiency improvements
  • Augmentation of water heating with solar water heaters
  • Lighting
  • Transition of remote desktops to VDI interface to automatically shut down desktops which are on
  • Replacement of conventional UPS with Modular UPS
  • UPS Retrofits and optimization
  • High efficiency data centers
  • Design of energy-efficient infrastructure

Decarbonizing the supply chain

At Infosys, we actively strive to align suppliers' climate ambitions with our Net Zero commitments, recognizing that meaningful decarbonization requires action across the value chain. By working closely with our suppliers, we are driving consistent, measurable emissions reduction beyond our direct operations.

During the year, we focused on engaging high‑emission IT hardware suppliers through on‑site assessments and senior‑level dialogues. These interactions enabled clearer alignment on decarbonization roadmaps and strengthened the measurement and management of Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. We also supported suppliers in improving greenhouse gas accounting practices, establishing robust emissions baselines, adopting verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), and strengthening resource efficiency and governance frameworks.

Beyond engagement, we continue to provide sustained handholding and performance tracking to help suppliers embed climate action into their core business operations. This collaborative approach ensures that our supplier ecosystem remains resilient, future‑ready, and aligned with shared sustainability objectives, reinforcing Infosys’ commitment to responsible value‑chain transformation.

Case Study

Driving climate responsible IT procurement

As digital infrastructure expands, Scope 3 emissions and packaging‑related waste increasingly originate from the deployment of IT hardware.

As digital infrastructure expands, Scope 3 emissions and packaging‑related waste increasingly originate from the deployment of IT hardware. For a global organization with a large and distributed workforce, procurement decisions are opportunities to influence environmental outcomes well beyond direct operations. At Infosys, we recognized this responsibility early and transformed IT hardware sourcing into a strategic ESG intervention.

Addressing a systemic challenge

The scale of global IT deployments means that even marginal improvements in product emissions or packaging practices can deliver significant environmental benefits. However, supplier capabilities vary widely. Not all partners have the same level of maturity, transparency, or readiness to meet evolving expectations on climate action and sustainable packaging. Left unaddressed, this variability can dilute value‑chain decarbonization efforts. Recognizing this challenge, Infosys made a deliberate decision to embed climate performance and packaging sustainability directly into procurement governance - moving sustainability considerations upstream, where they can drive the greatest impact.

Transforming procurement into an ESG lever

During the year, Infosys integrated climate and sustainable packaging criteria into its IT hardware sourcing process, elevating ESG parameters to sit alongside cost, quality, and performance. This shift ensured that purchasing decisions actively rewarded suppliers demonstrating stronger environmental performance and readiness for a low‑carbon future.

Supplier evaluation now includes verified Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) or Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) data, transparency in climate commitments, and detailed disclosure of packaging materials. Emissions intensity received the highest weighting, reflecting its direct contribution to Scope 3 emissions, while packaging assessments evaluated recyclability, biodegradability, and the elimination of fossil‑fuel‑derived materials.

The assessment revealed wide variation in emissions intensity and packaging practices across suppliers – reinforcing the importance of embedding these criteria in procurement decisions to drive meaningful differentiation.

Measurable outcomes at scale

The revised sourcing approach delivered tangible results. Suppliers with the weakest environmental performance were excluded from consideration, while procurement volumes were reallocated to higher‑performing partners. This rebalancing enabled Infosys to reduce emissions while maintaining operational and quality standards. The analysis identified a 72% variation in product carbon footprints across comparable hardware options. By prioritizing lower‑emission alternatives, Infosys avoided an estimated 8,955 tCO₂e compared to standard product specifications – demonstrating the power of informed procurement decisions to drive Scope 3 emission reductions at scale.

Advancing sustainable packaging

In parallel, Infosys achieved a complete transition to sustainable packaging for IT hardware deployments. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) and virgin plastics were eliminated across shipments. Molded pulp cushioning made from recycled paper waste replaced EPS, corrugated fiberboard became the standard outer packaging, and certified biodegradable plastics – validated through ISO‑aligned testing – were adopted for laptop bag covers. This transition not only reduces waste and plastic leakage but also strengthens circular‑economy outcomes throughout the technology supply chain.

Building a future‑ready value chain

By embedding climate action and sustainable packaging into procurement, Infosys has shifted sourcing from a transactional activity to a strategic lever for ESG transformation. The approach strengthens supplier accountability, drives measurable Scope 3 emissions reductions, and reinforces resilience across the value chain. This initiative reflects Infosys’ belief that long‑term sustainability outcomes are achieved not only through operational excellence, but also through responsible ecosystem partnerships – aligning procurement decisions with our climate ambitions and shared responsibility for a low‑carbon, resource‑efficient future.

Aligning with our efficiency and lifecycle approach, we procured the slimmest fire-rated glazed partitions for our new block in Hyderabad, the first project in India to feature this.

Fostering energy-conscious behavior among employees

Infosys continues to strengthen climate awareness beyond operations by empowering employees to adopt energy‑efficient behavior at work and at home. The ‘Watts Up? Save It!’ campaign was designed to build a climate‑conscious workforce by translating awareness into everyday action, and reinforcing responsible electricity use as a shared responsibility.

Watts Up campaign

For the Watts Up? Save It! campaign, stalls set up in Infosys campuses demonstrated energy-efficient appliances and solutions.

Timed around National Energy Conservation Day (December 14th), the initiative connected individual behavior with a broader national movement for energy efficiency. Across multiple campuses, employees engaged with practical, real-world solutions through expert interactions, demonstrations, and shared learning – covering energy-efficient appliances, renewable-energy options for homes, and smart workplace automation.

To enable sustained impact, Infosys introduced an Energy Conservation and Efficiency Toolkit, that provides simple, actionable guidance on reducing household and workplace energy use without compromising comfort or productivity. By combining awareness, engagement, and practical tools, the initiative encourages long-term habit formation, supporting lower energy consumption, and contributing to broader climate-action goals through informed, everyday choices.

Strengthening transparency in Work From Home emissions

Infosys has been an early leader in recognizing and reporting emissions associated with remote work. In FY21, we were among the first organizations globally to estimate and disclose Work From Home (WFH) emissions, acknowledging the growing climate impact of hybrid work models. As remote and hybrid work became embedded in our operating model, Infosys undertook a refreshed, data‑driven assessment to enhance the accuracy and relevance of these estimates.

Work-From-Home emissions

The WFH Electricity Consumption Survey was designed to capture electricity usage during work hours, by laptops, lighting, fans, air conditioners, and seasonal heating or cooling systems, among others.

The WFH Electricity Consumption Survey was designed to capture real‑world electricity usage during work hours, by laptops, lighting, fans, air conditioners, and seasonal heating or cooling systems, among others. The survey also gathered insights into renewable energy adoption by households, enabling a more nuanced understanding of distributed clean‑energy use across our workforce.

By incorporating equipment‑specific data, usage patterns, seasonal variations, and renewable‑energy uptake, this initiative significantly improves the accuracy, transparency, and robustness of Infosys’ Scope 3 emissions reporting. It ensures alignment with evolving global standards and stakeholder expectations, while equipping Infosys with a dynamic, data‑backed framework to guide future interventions and responsible climate action in a hybrid‑work environment.

Building climate awareness through capability and culture

Infosys recognizes that delivering meaningful climate outcomes requires not only strong sustainability initiatives but also an informed and empowered workforce. We therefore invest significantly in building climate awareness and capability among employees, partners, and key functions – creating a culture that extends beyond the workplace into everyday choices.

Smart energy solutions

Energy as a Service (EaaS)

EaaS is an AI-driven energy management platform that is targeted at energy efficiency and the decarbonization of the built-up environment (buildings and campuses). It delivers an integrated energy dashboard, that provids a consolidated view of energy performance, cost, and emissions to aid review and decision-making.

The EaaS platform expanded beyond traditional systems to support a wider range of energy assets. Metadata-driven configuration, real-time monitoring, consumption visualization, and asset-level performance tracking provide a scalable foundation for diversified energy portfolios. Advanced AI-driven optimization for asset sequencing was also deployed, including predictive chiller sequencing and scheduling based on weather forecasts and historical load patterns.

Distributed-Computational Optimization-driven Monitoring for Energy Transition (D-COMET)

D-COMET provides visibility into the grid-edge assets, which is currently a blind spot for DSOs (Distribution System Operators). D-COMET is a physical AI-based solution for real-time DER (Distributed Energy Resources) management in power distribution networks. It leverages an agentic AI framework powered by distributed computing to evaluate the impacts of DER integration on the network conditions before real-time dispatch.

This pre-dispatch integration assessment is carried out locally from the grid edge via agents at the DER aggregator side that coordinate with a central DSO agent. The solution thus acts as a decision-support system for DSO operations to optimize network operation based on commands issued by the DSO. Thus, based on anticipated outcomes of DER integration, the DSO can issue commands in real-time to either control the export of DER generation, divert the excess energy in a local energy storage unit, or curtail the generation at an individual DER unit. Furthermore, the agents also support optimization of energy selling/buying bids to enable P2P energy trading among DER owners (prosumers) and consumers on the distribution network via the Beckn Protocol, which enables platform-agnostic discovery of energy peers.

CEMP (Cloud-based Energy Management Platform)

CEMP targets the optimization of microgrids through increased renewable penetration, reduction in curtailment, and opportunities to participate in flexibility markets when energy demand is the highest. It is a cloud-based platform that enables intelligent management and coordination of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar, battery storage, and electric loads within microgrids. Designed for scalability and hosted on AWS, CEMP provides real-time monitoring, predictive insights, and automated control of energy systems. It also enables microgrids to participate in energy and flexibility markets through Virtual Power Plant (VPP) capabilities.

The platform leverages AI/ML-based short-term forecasting of renewable generation and site demand to identify peak demand periods and market participation opportunities. Using predictive insights, CEMP performs intelligent battery dispatch and asset orchestration, optimizing self-consumption while enabling surplus power and flexible capacity to be aggregated and offered into flexibility markets. Through VPP functionality, distributed assets are coordinated to respond to market signals while respecting site-level operational constraints.
