How Infosys reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2022, Infosys's total waste generation increased by 358.7%, including a 135.44% rise in 2024, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.
Over the same period, Infosys reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 83.28%, with a further 68.2% decline in 2024, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Infosys is generating more waste but has significantly reduced the share of hazardous materials, suggesting a partial decoupling of volume and toxicity that could reflect more responsible inputs or enhanced treatment.
How does Infosys treat its hazardous waste?
In 2024, Infosys reported that 833 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 1.68% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (82.91%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Infosys has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
