Infosys Limited (‘Infosys’ or ‘the Company’) has been an early adopter of Corporate Social
Responsibility (‘CSR’) initiatives. Along with sustained economic performance, environmental
and social stewardship is also a key factor for holistic business growth. We established the
Infosys Foundation in 1996 as a not-for-profit nodal body aimed at providing a dedicated
approach to community development and also to fulfil our CSR commitments. Infosys
Foundation works towards removing malnutrition, improving healthcare infrastructure,
supporting primary education, rehabilitating abandoned women and children, and preserving
Indian art and culture. Infosys Foundation partners with non-government organizations (NGOs)
to make a difference among local communities. The Company’s focus has always been to

planet a better place for future generations.
