2020: Infosys is carbon neutral

Infosys has become carbon neutral for FY 2020, 30 years ahead of the timeline set by the Paris Agreement. In 2019, Infosys received the prestigious United Nations Global Climate Action Award in the 'Climate Neutral Now' category.

UN Global Climate Action Award Certificate

Infosys' journey to carbon neutrality is truly inspiring. As one of the first companies of its kind to commit to carbon neutrality, they have provided a practical model for climate action, while setting a benchmark for integrating sustainable development and climate action. At this year's UN Climate Conference (COP 25) in Madrid, it is our honour to recognize Infosys as a winner of this year's UN Global Climate Action Awards.
