Why is Infosys asking employees for work-from-home electricity usage data?
The Bengaluru-based IT services major, which employs more than 300,000 people globally, said sustainability is viewed not merely as a goal but as a shared responsibility.
Bengaluru: Infosys has launched a company-wide survey to collect household electricity consumption data from employees working from home, as part of its long-running sustainability programme, according to an internal email sent to staff.
In an email accessed by The Economic Times, Infosys Chief Financial Officer Jayesh Sanghrajka said the survey aims to assess the environmental impact of hybrid work, as employees spend most of their time working remotely under the company’s current policy, which requires staff to be present in office for at least 10 days a month.

“With hybrid work becoming an integral part of our operations, the environmental impact of our work increasingly extends beyond our campuses and into our homes. Electricity consumed while working from home also contributes towards Infosys’ greenhouse gas emission footprint. As we seek to enhance and update our reporting methodology, obtaining accurate data on current work-from-home energy usage is essential to our ongoing efforts,” Sanghrajka wrote.
He told employees their responses would help the company measure impact more precisely and design effective sustainability initiatives.
The Bengaluru-based IT services major, which employs more than 300,000 people globally, said sustainability is viewed not merely as a goal but as a shared responsibility. Sanghrajka said Infosys has already demonstrated its commitment through key milestones.
Infosys, with a brand value of USD 16.4 billion, was termed as the fastest growing IT Services brand over the past 6 years, with a brand value CAGR of 15 per cent.
“Infosys, with a BSI score of 86.8 out of 100, is the world’s third strongest IT Services brand. Infosys’ enhanced brand strength is driven by increases in familiarity and, as well as rises in brand consideration, preference, price acceptance and recommendation,” according to the latest ‘IT Services 25 (2026)’ report by Brand Finance.
