CSR Policy

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 contribute to the sustainable development of the society and environment,
and to make our planet a better place for future generations. Infosys Foundation or such other
entity will receive requests for funding of projects throughout the calendar year. Its panel of
experts will evaluate proposals received under the Foundation’s focus areas and projects will
be prioritized by assessing their impact. The Foundation or such other entity will then
forward its recommendations to the CSR Committee. The CSR Committee will deliberate on
the proposals and approve proposals for implementation at its discretion. Infosys
representatives and/or Infosys Foundation or such other entity will collaborate with
stakeholders to monitor the status of each project and will report its findings to the CSR
Committee periodically.

Infosys CSR Policy intends to:

Strive for economic development that positively impacts the society at large with minimal
resource footprint. Embrace responsibility for the Company’s actions and encourage a
positive impact through its activities on hunger, poverty, malnutrition, environment,
communities, stakeholders and the society.

5.INTERPRETATION
Earnings per share can be defined as that share of a company’s profit that is distributed to
each share of stocks. Further, it is considered to be a significant financial parameter as it
helps to gauge a company’s financial health. To elaborate, higher EPS reflects greater
profitability from the company and its overall ventures. EPS not only helps measure a
company’s current financial standing but also helps track its past performances. For instance,
a company with a steadily increasing EPS is often considered to be a reliable investment
option. Likewise, companies with faltering or irregular EPS are usually not preferred by
seasoned investors. Infosys Ltd. Earning per share (EPS) is decreasing per share which
ensures the shareholders to recognize the profit of the organization.

6.CONCLUSION
The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its
registered office at Electronics City, Bengaluru Karnataka, India. The increase in revenues
was primarily attributable to an increase in large deal wins and the volume across most of the
segments.

As part of reimagining the digital journey, Infosys IT started to offer an open source-based
cloud native development platform. The platform is based on Kubernetes Container and PaaS
environment with DevOps framework for CI / CD pipelines and microservices build.

Infosys has been an early adopter of CSR initiatives. The Company works primarily through
the Infosys Foundation, towards supporting projects in the areas of protection of national
heritage, restoration of historical sites, promoting healthcare including preventive health care,
and rural development. In fiscal 2020, the Company’s CSR efforts included COVID-19 relief
in multiple states.

Despite the current economic environment, the Board has recommended a final dividend of `
9.50 per share, which will result in a total dividend of ` 17.50 for fiscal 2020.
