BENGALURU, India Dec. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Infosys is the first Indian corporate to receive this award 


    Infosys (https://www.infosys.com/)(NYSE: INFY), a global leader in  
next-generation digital services and consulting, was presented with the 
prestigious United Nations Global Climate Action Award in the 'Climate Neutral 
Now' category at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 25) in Madrid, Spain.

    Every year, the United Nations honours outstanding achievements in 
combating climate change through the Climate Action Awards. Infosys won the 
award for its carbon neutral program, which delivers scalable, innovative and 
practical climate actions that address climate change and help drive progress 
on many other sustainable development goals, such as gender equality, health 
and well-being and economic opportunity. 

     Ministers, negotiators, NGOs, celebrities, and other dignitaries 
felicitated the award-winning projects of 2019. Mr. Ovais Sarmad, Deputy 
Executive Secretary of UN Climate Change addressed the gathering at the award 
ceremony.

    Niclas Svenningsen, Manager of the UN Climate Change Global Climate Action 
Programme, said, "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."

    Pravin Rao, Chief Operating Officer, Infosys, said, "At Infosys, we believe 
that it is the responsibility of every organization to operate in a manner that 
limits the impact of business on the environment. Over the years, Infosys has 
made significant endeavors to integrate carbon neutrality with sustainable 
development, and this award is another landmark in our journey. It is a matter 
of pride for us that Infosys is the first corporate from India to receive a UN 
Climate Award, and it reinforces our commitment towards supporting the cause of 
climate change."
