Infosys asks employees to share remote work electricity consumption data: Report

IT major Infosys is gathering data on household electricity consumption of employees with the aim to offset its impact through higher clean energy output as part of a sustainability programme the company has been implementing for more than 15 years, according to a report by the Economic Times (ET). Under the company’s hybrid work policy, employees primarily work remotely but must be physically present in the office for a minimum of 10 days each month. Infosys' Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Jayesh Sanghrajka informed employees via email that the company has initiated the work-from-home electricity usage survey and encouraged them to take a few minutes to respond, the report said.
