RESPECTING EACH OTHER
An Equal Opportunity Workplace Free of Discrimination or Harassment
At Infosys, we strive to provide a work environment free of discrimination and harassment. We are an equal opportunity employer and employment decisions are based on merit and business needs. Our Human Rights Statement further illustrates our stand on this. Employees in the U.S. may also refer to our U.S. equal opportunity statement.
We are committed to following fair employment practices that provide equal opportunities to all employees. We do not discriminate or allow harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, disability, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, genetic information, military status, or any other legally protected status. At Infosys, we value diversity and believe that a diverse workplace builds a competitive advantage.
To put these values in practice, all of us must ensure that decisions affecting employees are based on business factors only. For instance, decisions regarding hiring, promotion, termination, transfer, leave of absence or compensation should only be based on relevant business factors.
We must also ensure that we never verbally or physically mistreat others or engage in offensive behavior, and we should not tolerate those who do. This includes harassing, bullying, abusive or intimidating treatment, inappropriate language or gestures, disorderly conduct, violence and any other conduct that interferes with a co-worker’s ability to do his or her job.
The Company’s Anti-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy applies to all persons involved in the operations of the Company and prohibits harassment by any employee of the Company towards other employees as well as outside vendors and customers. If you have any questions relating to what constitutes discrimination or harassment, or any other questions or concerns pertaining to discrimination or harassment, please refer to the Policy on Prevention and Redressal of Harassment at Infosys or any of the location-specific procedures found on your local policy page on the Company intranet. If you wish to report a concern, you can simply call the Helpline listed throughout this Code of Conduct, or reach out to us using any of the following relevant channels:
A Safe Place to Work
To work effectively, all of us need a healthy and safe work environment. All forms of substance abuse as well as the use or distribution of drugs and alcohol while at work is prohibited. Unless required as part of your role (for instance for security personnel where deemed necessary), possession and/or use of weapons/firearms or ammunition while on business of the Company is prohibited. All of us should be safe at our place of work. Should you observe any unsafe situations at work, please reach out to the Helpline. Please also take the time to familiarize yourselves with emergency procedures and the safety manuals applicable to your location.
