The CEO & MD is responsible for executing corporate strategy in consultation with the Board, as well as for brand equity, planning, building external contacts and all matters related to the management of the Company.
He is responsible for achieving annual and long-term business targets. The CEO & MD also monitors the external and internal competitive landscape and new industry developments and standards, identifies opportunities for expansion and acquisition, and builds relationships with customers and markets to enhance shareholder value and implementing the organization’s vision, mission, and overall direction.
The Lead Independent Director was appointed by the Board to ensure robust independent leadership of the Board.
The general authority and responsibilities of the Lead Independent Director are decided by the group of independent directors. The Lead Independent Director also performs additional duties as determined by the Board, such as providing leadership to the independent directors, liaising on behalf of the independent directors and ensuring the Board’s effectiveness in maintaining high quality governance of the organization and effective functioning of the Board.
The size of the Board is calibrated to enable effective deliberation, diverse perspectives, and timely decision making, while avoiding the inefficiencies associated with oversized boards. The Board periodically reviews its composition to ensure an optimal balance of skills, experience, and independence in line with the Company’s evolving strategy.

Two out of the nine directors on our Board are independent woman directors, making up 30% of the Board’s strength. The Board periodically evaluates the need for change in its size and composition.
The Company abides by the definitions of an independent director, as laid down under relevant rules and regulations.
In accordance with the provisions of Section 184(1) of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the rules made thereunder, and Regulation 26 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, all Directors of the Company have disclosed their concern or interest, direct or indirect, in other entities, including shareholding, by furnishing the declarations in the prescribed format.

One of the key functions of the Board is to monitor and review the Board evaluation framework. The Board works with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee to lay down the evaluation criteria for the performance of the Chairman, the Board, Board committees, and executive / non-executive / independent directors through peer evaluation, excluding the director being evaluated.
Independent directors have three key roles – governance, control and guidance. Some performance indicators, based on which the independent directors are evaluated, include:

The Company has been a pioneer in India by rewarding its employees through stock ownership programs starting in 1994. The Company grants share-based benefits to eligible employees with a view to attracting and retaining the best talent, encouraging employees to align individual performances with the Company’s objectives, and promoting their increased participation in the growth of the Company.
In continuation with the Company’s philosophy of aligning employee interests with shareholder value creation and in line with global practices, the Company has instituted the Infosys Expanded Stock Ownership Program (“the 2019 Plan”), where the Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) granted under the 2019 Plan shall vest based on the achievement of defined annual performance parameters. The performance parameters will be based on a combination of relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) against selected industry peers and certain broader market domestic and global indices, and operating performance metrics of the Company as decided by the administrator.
The Company has also granted share based incentives under the 2015 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan (“the 2015 Plan”) where the RSUs granted under this plan will vest generally over a period of four years and are time-based.
The Company’s executive pay programs support our executive compensation philosophy which aims to:
Stock or equity-based incentives are a substantial part of the total rewards of senior leadership and are determined by the desired pay mix standards for that level. Equity grants are generally granted or vested based on achievement against Company and /or individual performance parameters, however some equity grants could be purely time-based. These plans also help retain employees through multi-year vesting of stock incentives.
The Company’s CEO & MD and other senior executives build ownership primarily through RSUs granted under the 2015 Plan and 2019 Plan. A significant portion of the CEO & MD’s remuneration is performance-based and equity-linked, reinforcing alignment with shareholder interests and the Company’s long term strategy. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee periodically reviews the structure and quantum of equity awards, considering business performance, market practices, and long term sustainability priorities.
The details of shareholding of the senior management and other executives are provided in the Infosys Integrated Annual Report 2025-26.

The application of this Policy to certain covered executives is not discretionary and applies without regard to whether a covered executive was at fault or not, thereby strengthening accountability and ensuring alignment between executive compensation outcomes and the Company’s reported financial performance. Through this policy, Infosys seeks to enhance transparency, safeguard stakeholder interests, and uphold high standards of governance. The Compensation Recovery Policy forms an integral part of Infosys’ broader governance framework supporting ethical leadership and sustainable business practices.

Sambandh, our biennial supplier meet, was held across different locations in India.
Infosys is committed to partnering with high-quality suppliers to deliver best in-class business and IT solutions to its clients. As a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the Company aligns its supply chain practices with the UNGC principles on human rights, labor, environment, and anti corruption, using them as a foundation for continuous improvement.
The Responsible Supply Chain and Supplier Diversity Policy reflects Infosys’ commitment to embedding these principles across its supply chain relationships, while fostering long-term environmental, social, and economic value for diverse businesses. This commitment is evident in both internal processes and external engagements. Supplier partnerships are guided by integrity and ethical practices, alongside a focus on supporting and enabling the growth of diverse enterprises.
Infosys’ upstream value chain includes over 9,000 suppliers spanning three categories: suppliers of people, products, and services. These relationships range from long-term and short-term engagements to contractual and project based associations.
Downstream, Infosys serves a diverse client base across multiple industries, including aerospace, automotive, financial services, healthcare, life sciences, utilities, and others.
We strive to build mutually beneficial relationships with our suppliers and partners with organizations that uphold fairness, integrity, and compliance with applicable laws. We expect our suppliers to act responsibly toward all stakeholders and operate with high ethical standards.
The Supplier Code of Conduct (SCoC), inspired by the Infosys Code of Conduct and the UNGC principles, sets clear expectations for our suppliers. These include environmental sustainability, respecting and protecting internationally recognized human rights, treating all individuals with dignity, eliminating forced and compulsory labor, prohibiting child labor, and promoting strong governance practices such as anti corruption, anti-bribery, and fair business conduct across the supply chain.

91.64%
suppliers underwent ESG assessments.
Infosys has conducted over 1,160 assessments (virtual / onsite) across its supply chain partners to evaluate ESG performance and strengthen responsible sourcing. These assessments are aligned with globally recognized frameworks such as the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI), among others.
The assessment framework also incorporates key expectations from the Infosys Supplier Code of Conduct, covering the following areas:
Labor practices: Evaluation of supplier policies on wages and benefits, prevention of child labor, and commitments to eliminate human trafficking, forced, and compulsory labor.
Human capital and incident reporting: Assessment of practices related to workplace incidents, including reporting mechanisms, work-related illnesses, fatalities, as well as employee well-being and satisfaction.

Certifications and management systems:Suppliers are expected to demonstrate maturity through relevant certifications and systems across 13 themes, including ISO certifications and supporting evidence of validity and implementation.
Ethics and integrity: Evaluation of governance practices such as the presence of independent codes of conduct, adherence to regulatory and statutory requirements, and overall ethical business conduct.
These assessments are designed to evaluate supplier maturity in ESG adoption, ensure alignment with Infosys’ sustainability goals, and establish a consistent framework for measuring and improving supplier ESG performance.
1,100+
upstream suppliers were assessed for ESG in FY26
During the assessment, no actual or potential negative environmental or social impacts were identified in the supply chain.
All new suppliers are required to undergo an online ESG due diligence, through a globally renowned third party risk assessment platform as part of the pre-contracting process. This assessment evaluates publicly available information within the governance dimension, including exposure to sanctions, corruption, financial crimes, and litigation.
Upon successful completion of this assessment, and in the absence of any adverse findings, suppliers are required to complete an ESG questionnaire. In this questionnaire, they indicate whether their organizations have established ESG practices related to social and environmental aspects. Suppliers who confirm the presence of such practices are subsequently invited to provide detailed information on their social and environmental initiatives for further evaluation.
1,500+
new suppliers were onboarded in FY26
79% of our new suppliers have responded to the ESG questionnaire on social and environmental practices as part of the onboarding process. The remaining 21% have been invited to access our ESG learning channel on the external platform, Infosys Wingspan, where they can leverage curated learning resources to strengthen their ESG capabilities.
In line with statutory reporting requirements, ESG assessments are conducted annually for suppliers representing the top 75% of our procurement spend i.e. 91.64% of suppliers by spend through a reputed third-party provider. Suppliers with lower scores are supported through structured improvement plans aimed at enhancing their ESG performance. This includes sharing best practices and facilitating engagement with identified ESG specialists.

The Ethics and Compliance Program at Infosys has two key objectives: to uphold and foster the values of integrity and transparency, and to ensure enterprise-wide regulatory compliance.
Integrity is key to nurturing a responsible business. Beyond regulation and stakeholder attention, there is a growing recognition that good behavior is good for business. Our values are the principles we use to run the Company daily and are the source of our Code of Conduct and Ethics. Our values are the foundation of everything we do and are encapsulated in the acronym CLIFE (Client value, Leadership by example, Integrity and transparency, Fairness and Excellence).
We firmly believe that following the highest standards of business conduct and ethics helps us run our business responsibly. Our Code of Conduct and Ethics (“the Code”) sets out expectations for all employees and helps us maintain the highest ethical standards in everything we do.
It also requires adherence to applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including but not limited to, anti bribery and anti-corruption laws, and ethical handling of conflicts of interest, fraud and money laundering. The Code is approved by the Board, and the Office of Integrity and Compliance is the custodian of the Code. Our business partners acknowledge and comply with the Supplier Code of Conduct (opens in new window).

Digital version of the Code
We also have a digital version of the Code. It offers a user-friendly and easy to-navigate audio-visual experience that also allows access to specific topics in an interactive manner. The Code can be accessed on mobile devices as well. The digital version of the Code aims to help every employee understand the behavior we expect and the principles and values we uphold. We aim to continue to build a culture of compliance, where everyone feels they can do the right thing and prioritize legal and ethical choices.
Training on the Code
Our employees, sub-contractors, and the Board members are trained on the Code. We have a Smart Awareness Quiz (SAQ), which includes training modules that employees are mandatorily required to undertake every year to renew their commitment to the Code. Our employees are trained in various aspects of ESG, including Anti-Bribery and Anti Corruption (ABAC) and Whistleblower awareness in accordance with the training and communications calendar. Our vendor partners are also trained on the Supplier Code of Conduct and ABAC through live sessions during the vendor/ third party meet called Sambandh. We also have a detailed communication plan that uses multiple channels of communication such as emails, video messages, blogs, gamified assessments, and storyboards to spread awareness about various policies.
#SwipeRightforIntegrity
#SwipeRightforIntegrity is an annual legal and compliance event organized by Infosys. The event brings together our leaders to reinforce our values of integrity, transparency, and good governance, helping us build enduring relationships with our clients, employees, and partners. It has become a platform to create awareness and engage in meaningful dialogue with stakeholders, influence behavior, and showcase the Infosys culture.
Local Compliance Officer program
To further raise awareness among our employees about ethical aspects globally, a Local Compliance Officer (LCO) network has also been created across the Infosys Group in collaboration with the Office of Integrity and Compliance. The LCO network plays a crucial role in promoting an organizational culture that encourages ethical conduct and a commitment to compliance with the law, regulations, and policies and helps in maximizing the impact of ethics-related compliance training.
Ethics & Culture Survey
The Office of Integrity and Compliance (OIC) conduct an Ethics and Culture survey to gather the ethical pulse of the organization, foster a stronger ethical culture. Ethical culture matters – to employees, investors, and all stakeholders. Companies that have strong value-based cultures are better places to work and are well-poised for long-term success.
This survey helps in understanding the perspective of Infoscions on ethical practices, organizational values and cultural alignment. This also provides the team with vital data points for targeting our training and communication program, risk assessment and determining the overall emphasis of the ethics and compliance program.
Our survey reveals employees are willing to report any observed misconduct, showcasing confidence in organizational justice.
We have an established compliance program; the framework integrates both horizontal and vertical compliance structures to ensure holistic oversight of statutory, regulatory, and client-specific obligations.
Where regulatory requirements intersect with human rights–related considerations, such requirements are also added into the applicable regulatory compliance program in the form of obligations which is mapped to the relevant respective functions.
The horizontal statutory compliance framework ensures that the Infosys group adheres to applicable laws across geographies in which the Company operates. Obligations are mapped across 14 business enabling functions and tracking of compliance is monitored on a central tool.
Complementing this, Infosys also has a structured vertical regulatory compliance program designed to centralize, track, and monitor compliance requirements arising from client engagements and sector-specific regulations. As of today, the vertical compliance program has compliance libraries across 19 verticals and nine countries for Infosys Limited.
Infosys has instituted a Responsible AI vision and purpose to ensure ethical, transparent, and accountable use of AI across its lifecycle, aligned with global regulatory and societal expectations. The framework is anchored in defined guiding pillars that promote fairness, inclusivity, human rights, and trust, enabling responsible innovation and sustainable business impact.
The key aspects of our AI vision and purpose include:
Infosys is committed to advancing Responsible and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence as a core dimension of its ESG agenda, embedding ethics, accountability, and sustainability into every stage of the AI lifecycle. Governed by the Infosys AI Policy and its 'Responsible by Design' philosophy, Infosys operationalizes Responsible AI through a robust Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS), enabling systematic risk assessment, monitoring, and continuous improvement of AI systems.
Infosys, among the first organizations to be certified under ISO/IEC 42001, helps enterprises assess readiness and strengthen governance for their responsible AI initiatives. Through its dedicated Responsible AI Office, Infosys conducts AI risk and maturity assessments, deploys technical and governance controls, and supports audits across high-impact AI use cases.
Beyond internal adoption, Infosys plays a leadership role in advocacy – engaging with governments, industry bodies, academia, and standards organizations to co-develop policies, frameworks, and harmonized standards for ethical AI. By open-sourcing its Responsible AI Toolkit and contributing insights to global forums, Infosys advances transparency, trust, and inclusive innovation – demonstrating that scalable AI progress and societal responsibility must evolve together.
Infosys complements its responsible AI governance with specific operational safeguards and practices, including:
Our Anti-Trust Policy clearly sets out the organization’s objectives, scope, applicability, and the regulatory consequences associated with Anti-Trust and Anti-Competitive Compliance.
The export control policy describes Infosys’ export control program and is reviewed periodically by the Management. The export control program protects the Company and its employees from potential risk of violation of sanctions prescribed under export control regulations and facilitates business expansion in accordance with these regulations.
All our third parties are screened against various sanctions lists to ensure that we are compliant. As part of the program, training modules, and awareness campaigns are rolled out to relevant employees to create awareness and equip our team to identify export control and sanctions-related red flags. We have a self-assessment and certification program in place for anti bribery and anti-corruption, antitrust / anti-competition, and export control.
Our Whistleblower Policy is a comprehensive and well-designed mechanism that encourages employees, vendors, customers, and any other stakeholders to report any unethical conduct, violation of applicable laws or the Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics occurring within the Company.
With strict confidentiality measures and multiple reporting channels, the policy ensures that whistleblowers are protected from any retaliation. The Company reviews all complaints impartially and takes appropriate action, as applicable, while providing regular communication to ensure awareness about the policy. The Infosys Whistleblower Policy is a testament to the Company’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and responsible corporate citizenship.
We have leveraged Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies to proactively monitor Compliance and ABAC controls, enabling the identification of potential exceptions and risks in a more efficient and data-driven manner.
In addition, Infosys has implemented an in-house Compliance Chatbot to enhance accessibility to compliance guidance. This initiative has significantly reduced the resolution time for routine compliance-related queries, from several days to a matter of minutes, thereby empowering employees to seek timely clarifications, improving awareness, and strengthening the overall compliance culture across the organization.
At Infosys, Integrity guides our approach to conducting business. Read our Anti Bribery and Anti Corruption (“ABAC”) Policy here. The policy applies to employees, subsidiaries, and third parties, and aligns with global regulations to ensure transparency, accountability, and responsible conduct.
Infosys has a strong Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption (ABAC) risk management framework. The Company regularly assesses bribery and corruption risks to support its growth strategy and promote an ethical, risk-aware culture.
Our robust ABAC Policy prohibits bribery, facilitation payments, improper gifts, and all forms of corrupt practices, and provides operating guidelines addressing record keeping, approval procedures and appropriate disciplinary actions in case of breach. This framework underscores Infosys’ commitment to ethical conduct and maintaining integrity across its global operations.
Our ABAC policy and procedures are reviewed by the Management at regular intervals. Furthermore, the procedures are audited from time to time. In addition to the policy, training is provided for better awareness.
We have clear guidelines covering gifts, hospitality, sponsorships, charitable contributions and interactions with intermediaries. Additionally, a framework is in place to enable employees to reach out to the compliance team to obtain clarifications and approvals relating to sensitive transactions. All requests are evaluated in accordance with the ABAC Policy to ensure compliance with ethical and legal requirements. Based on this assessment, the compliance function may approve or reject the request or recommend additional safeguards.
Furthermore, any vendor or third party onboarded by Infosys undergoes comprehensive due-diligence screening and continuous monitoring and are required to abide by the Supplier Code of Conduct.
For vendors operating in high-risk functions, Infosys has implemented controls in procure-to-pay process to ensure appropriate proof of service by vendors is submitted, reviewed, and approved before payments are released. The process ensures traceability of high risk transactions involving third parties at the initial stages using user declarations and OCR technology. Potential redflag indicators are tracked, and an escalation matrix is available to ensure timely review and resolution.
In addition, digitized self-assessment and certification is also rolled out as part of monitoring and controls. This approach reinforces the governance framework and supports a culture of ethical and responsible business conduct across the organization.
Infosys’ Code of Conduct and Ethics prohibits the use of Company funds or assets for political campaigns or political practices without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors. For FY26, no such Board approval was sought or granted, and Infosys made zero corporate political contributions globally, whether in cash or in kind, to political parties, political organizations, political campaigns or political candidates in any country where it operates.
The Company does not operate or participate in a political action committee. Any political contributions made by individual employees are personal, voluntary, and are neither directed, endorsed, nor reimbursed by the Company. All actions are guided by the principles set out in Infosys’ Code of Conduct and Ethics and its Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption framework. Robust governance mechanisms and internal controls are in place to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and to uphold the highest standards of integrity and transparency in all interactions involving public policy matters.
Infosys engages in public policy activities in a responsible, transparent, and ethical manner, aligned with its ESG commitments. The company participates in policy discussions that support sustainable economic growth, digital innovation, workforce development, and inclusive opportunities across the markets in which it operates.
To support this engagement, Infosys works with external advisors in key jurisdictions. These engagements are conducted in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and disclosure requirements. While Infosys does not directly lobby government officials on legislation through its external advisors, where required, such advisors are registered under relevant transparency and lobbying frameworks, and all mandated filings are made with appropriate authorities.
We have established comprehensive grievance redressal mechanisms, articulated in our Code of Conduct and Ethics, including a Whistleblower reporting channel. These mechanisms are easily accessible through multiple platforms such as an independent third-party managed web portal and 24x7 toll-free helplines, and a dedicated internal email inbox, across multiple global jurisdictions and local languages. Stakeholders may report concerns anonymously, and all reports are protected by strict non-retaliation provisions and treated with the utmost confidentiality.
In addition, employees and contractual staff have access to robust grievance resolution hubs designed to address workplace concerns in a timely and effective manner. Suppliers are informed of grievance redressal mechanisms through the Supplier Code of Conduct, which they are required to mandatorily acknowledge and sign. Employees, as key stakeholders, are encouraged to share feedback on workplace engagement and grievance mechanisms through periodic pulse surveys, providing valuable input into the design, review, and continuous improvement of these processes.
Infosys remains committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and positive work environment. Employees also have access to designated forums and structured resolution mechanisms where they can raise workplace concerns, reinforcing a culture of transparency, trust, and accountability. Read more

With 1.2 billion new workers expected to compete for 400 million jobs in emerging economies over the next decade, closing this gap will require not only expanding skills training but also developing alternative employment models and supporting entrepreneurship. What does it take to reimagine how we adapt to a changing workforce and address the upcoming jobs crisis? This session was organized in collaboration with Bloomberg.
Nandan participated in this session with Saadia Zahidi, Managing Director, World Economic Forum; Tharman Shanmugaratnam, President of the Republic of Singapore, Office of the President of the Republic of Singapore; Tengku Muhammad Taufiky, President and Group Chief Executive Officer, PETRONAS (Petroliam Nasional); Ajay S.

Salil Parekh, CEO & MD, Infosys, participated in a session titled 'Can We Save the Middle Class?' Globally, the middle class has been growing by about 54 million people each year since 2011. However, with the pandemic in 2020, that growth slowed down, and concerns about long-term job security are increasing. How will AI impact middle-class economics, and where are economies focusing on growth from the middle out despite the odds?
Salil participated in this session with Andy Beshear, Governor of Kentucky, State of Kentucky; Stacey Vanek Smith, Senior Story Editor, Bloomberg Audio, Bloomberg Media; Christy Hoffman, General Secretary, UNI Global Union; Oren Cass, Founder and Chief Economist, American Compass.

Infosys has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to sustainability by ensuring a completely carbon-neutral presence at the event.
This impressive feat was accomplished through the adoption of sustainable methods and materials, which helped to significantly minimize emissions.

This not only highlights our dedication to environmental responsibility but also sets a precedent for other organizations to follow.
At Davos, Infosys hosted a significant panel discussion on the critical issue of 'Building the Digital Backbone: Skills and Infrastructure for Inclusive Growth'.
The global economy is undergoing rapid digital transformation driven by AI, cloud computing, and advanced connectivity. Yet, the benefits of this transformation remain unevenly distributed. While some areas see exponential growth, others face obstacles due to inadequate infrastructure and limited digital skills. To promote inclusive and sustainable growth, we need to expand digital infrastructure and provide people with future-ready skills. This balanced approach helps ensure that technology becomes a source of opportunity, not inequality.

Most companies know that being socially conscious and responsible is non negotiable today. Not only is it a matter of compliance, but it is also mandated by partners and investors. It, of course, makes for good branding too.
But we ask ourselves every day if we might look at it differently. We ask ourselves if it is an opportunity to save more, so we can share more. If it is an opportunity to proactively move us all forward. If it is an opportunity to position not just us for sustained growth and development, but also the generations to come. We are convinced that ESG is an Opportunity. Know more here.
With a multi-channel approach to ESG communication, we aim to create transparency through awareness and measurable action.
Progress isn’t always straight or steady, but it moves forward, one step at a time.
The LGBTQ+ community’s progress has never been a straight line. While visibility and rights have advanced over decades, the journey remains unpredictable – laws shift, freedoms fluctuate, and public sentiment oscillates. This uncertainty is exhausting, yet the community persists with resilience and hope. Despite remarkable progress, the lack of consistency in acceptance and rights creates emotional fatigue and instability for the LGBTQ+ community. Every step forward can feel fragile, making the fight for equality an ongoing challenge rather than a settled reality.
Our campaign, #StillWalking represents the essence of resilience, hope, love and progress despite setbacks. It acknowledges the non-linear nature of progress while fostering optimism and perseverance.
Every year, International Women’s Day is marked with visibility and intent, yet its impact often fades as quickly as the moment passes. We challenge this pattern by shifting the narrative from a single-day celebration to a sustained movement for change.
Anchored in the theme #CelebrateChange, the campaign reimagines this occasion as a starting point, a catalyst for continuous progress built through consistent action, accountability, and collective commitment.
By spotlighting women as key pillars of innovation, we reinforce our commitment to enabling their growth, leadership, and meaningful participation across technology and business, ensuring that the spirit of the day translates into lasting impact within the organization and beyond.
