Sustainable Packaging: Sustainability Engineering Offering | HCLTech

Overview

The increased focus on renewable energy sources, low-carbon products, and circular economy models warrants a clear shift from sustainable operation to sustainable value-chain. Leveraging the cloud offers significant value in terms of fewer servers, lesser power consumption, and reduced carbon emissions—the huge savings in energy costs.< Add to this, the regulatory requirements, interest from investors, and consumer affinity for smart and energy-efficient products, green technologies have now become a top business priority.

However, making the shift to eco-friendly cloud-based solutions is easier said than done. Increased costs, high complexity, and the lack of tailored solutions challenge most organizations without a strong ecosystem.

HCLTech’ Sustaineering portfolio offers end-to-end sustainability solutions and services underpinned by strategic partnerships. It allows us to provide comprehensive and customized services across the value chain right—from the product ideation and design phase to end-of-life and sustenance.
