Tietoevry's sustainability ambition is to have 100% renewable electricity in its offices globally by the end of 2023. Our Pune office successfully transitioned to 100% green energy from January 2023.
06 July 2023
We are delighted to announce that our Pune office started operating on 100% renewable energy from January 1 this year. This marks a significant advancement and a major milestone in our company’s sustainability journey in India.
Tietoevry’s Sustainability Game Plan “Upgrading tomorrow” defines our sustainability ambitions for the future. Our stated ambition in the plan is to reach 100% renewable and carbon-free electricity in our data centers and offices globally by the end of 2023.
Our Pune office is in Cluster D at the EON Free Zone 1 in Kharadi Pune, which has the LEED Gold certification issued by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). We recently received the Green Energy Certificate for availing the supply of 100% Green Energy from the EON facility developers and owners.
We have implemented ISO 14001 Environmental Management System globally and all our sites, group functions and business operations are covered in it to ensure excellent company-wide environmental performance. In India, we are one of the few IT organizations to have adopted ISO 14001 based Environmental Management System (EMS) implementation to systematically develop and continuously improve the environmental pillar of sustainability.
Our Tietoevry Pune facilities team put in continued efforts over the past few years to get the EON Free Zone 1 facilities team to implement a solution to supply green energy to our offices. Over time the EON team started providing green energy supply starting from 19% last year to finally reach the 100% milestone successfully at the beginning of 2023.
We aim to be carbon neutral and integrate circular and environmentally friendly approaches in our operations by 2025. Apart from achieving the 100% green energy target, we have taken ambitious steps in our climate work to follow circular practices, become more energy efficient and reduce power consumption, CO2 emission and e-waste in our operations as well as our value chain. Some actions that have been part of our decarbonization initiative are:
As part of its sustainability initiatives EON has installed 14 Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations for four wheelers. We encourage our employees to adopt sustainable transportation and promote greener commutes, which will go a long way in improving our air quality and a cleaner environment. We also encourage our employees to increasingly follow green practices and help minimize our environmental footprint.
