Infosys Tracks Employee Home Energy Use for Footprint
26 Jan
Summary
- Infosys requests electricity usage data from hybrid workers.
- The initiative aims to refine the company's environmental footprint calculation.
- Data will aid internal assessments, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder reporting.
Infosys is reportedly asking employees who follow its hybrid work policy to report their home electricity usage. This move is part of the IT giant's effort to more accurately calculate its environmental footprint as remote work becomes a permanent fixture.
Employees working remotely are being surveyed to track household power consumption linked to their work. This data is considered essential for understanding the company's greenhouse gas emissions impact beyond its physical campuses.
The information gathered will support internal assessments, ensure regulatory compliance, and provide transparent reporting to stakeholders. This initiative is a continuation of Infosys's long-standing sustainability program, which now includes emissions from remote operations.
Under the hybrid work policy, employees are required to work from the office for at least 10 days each month, with additional remote days needing manager approval.
