From green buildings to green IT to a green supply chain, our mantra is to grow sustainably and help our customers achieve sustainable growth through our green solutions and service offerings" - N Chandrasekaran, CEO & MD, TCS TCS’ Sustainability Initiatives – The Three Pillars Sustainable Operations: Being an organization of more than 250,000 employees, our infrastructure, facilities, and associates have a large impact on the society and environment. We aim to run our operations in a socially and environmentally sustainable manner.

We aim to build these as “greener infrastructure.” Corporate Social Responsibilty: The guiding principle of TCS’ CSR programmes is “Impact through Empowerment.” TCS has a diverse range of global CSR initiatives in the areas of education, health and environment: volunteering, funding and pro bono leveraging of our IT capabilities. Solutions for our Customers: With a dedicated eco-sustainability team working across industry verticals, we aim to provide next-generation sustainability services to our customers.
