CSR POLICY

“We embrace our responsibility to create a positive impact in the communities in which we work and live.”

Infosys CSR Policy intends to:

• Strive for economic development that positively impacts the society at large with minimal resource footprint.
• Embrace responsibility for the Company’s actions and encourage a positive impact through its activities on hunger, poverty,
malnutrition, environment, communities, stakeholders and society.

According to the guidelines of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Company has constituted a Board-level CSR Committee comprising of
two independent directors and one whole-time director to monitor the implementation of the Corporate Social Responsibility Policy of the
Company from time to time. 

The CSR committee performs the following functions:


• Recommend the amount of expenditure for the CSR activities, and
• Monitor CSR activities from time to time.
The committee meets every quarter to create strategy and monitor actions as well as outcomes of Infosys’s social development projects.
