Melbourne, Australia – March 6, 2014
Infosys, a global leader in consulting, technology and outsourcing, today announced that it has been awarded the 2013 Ian Kiernan Award for Corporate Social Responsibility by the Australian Human Resources Institute. Named after prominent Australian environmentalist Ian Kiernan AO, the national award recognizes Infosys for its success in enhancing its corporate social responsibility (CSR) program and becoming more inclusive and meaningful for its staff, beneficiaries and the Australian community.
Infosys began a comprehensive review and revitalisation of its previous donation-led CSR program in 2010. A three-pronged strategy covering volunteering opportunities by the company, leading by example and endorsing employee-led social consciousness activities helped Infosys increase employee engagement and community impact:
The Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI) is the country’s national association representing human resource and people management professionals. The AHRI awards recognise HR and business leaders as well as companies for best practice initiatives and innovative projects.
“I am thrilled to see this recognition of more than 700 Infosys employees who are active volunteers in Infosys-sponsored CSR initiatives. As much as they have contributed, our people are telling us that they are getting back more: building stronger connections with each other and with our community through active participation such as volunteering, goods donations and pro bono work.”
Louise Augustinus, Volunteer Coordinator, Ozanam House Melbourne“For the past three years, the volunteers from Infosys have been assisting our catering team in preparing more than 8,000 meals a month for our lunch time meal program. We would not be able to provide this level of fresh, healthy and nutritious meals without the support of our volunteers and staff from Infosys.”
