Overview
To us, sustainability involves making a real, positive and measurable impact. It is about being socially aware and environmentally conscious, about conducting business responsibly and embedding sustainability into the company’s growth strategy. We call it a business “rebalance”
From promoting an inclusive workplace to integrating sustainable solutions into our offerings, our sustainability agenda works at multiple levels. For example, HCL Technologies features in the Greenpeace “Cool IT Leaderboard,” which assesses global companies on their commitment and action on energy and climate solutions.
Our sustainability program is guided by 4 R’s – Responsible Business, Redefine Workplace, Renew Eco System and Repay Society.
We are a signatory of the UN Global Compact and its ten principles. The company’s senior management team is active in the World Economic Forum, which provides an opportunity to learn and adopt new practices and to contribute actively to public policy dialogue.
The “Power of One” is an initiative that highlights the social responsibility of individual HCL employees. Every HCL-ite is encouraged to spend at least a day every year working on a socially beneficial project in the community. The program transforms individual efforts into an avalanche of positive social activism and dovetails with HCL’s “Employees First” philosophy, which positions employees not only as value creators for the organization but also as harbingers of change.
We are now taking our mission of being a socially responsible business to the next level, by working to have a positive impact on communities in which we do business, through local job creation. As part of this effort, we recently announced a series of initiatives around building “Glocal Centres of Excellence,” with the aim of creating 10,000 jobs in the US and Europe.
