Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	Infosys Ltd outlines a clear process linking its policy advocacy to its climate goals, stating that “policy advocacy that we undertake, or support is directly connected to the above strategy and goals” and that “all engagements and advocacy efforts are aligned to our carbon neutrality, net zero, ESG 2030 vision, and RE 100 commitments,” while also explaining that “the strategy is reviewed on a quarterly basis and budgets are allocated on yearly basis to run the programs.” It further clarifies that “inputs derived from the committee and board-level discussions are cascaded down to the respective teams to take action or influence the policymakers to align with our Infosys strategy,” with oversight roles held by the “President, Head of Green Initiatives/Facilities,” the “Regional Head Infrastructure,” and the “board-level committee of ESG, CSR, and Risk Management committee.” However, the company does not disclose procedures for aligning or monitoring its indirect lobbying through industry or trade associations, nor does it reference any dedicated audit or third-party review of its climate lobbying alignment, indicating that its governance framework, while structured for direct advocacy, lacks comprehensive coverage and external validation across all lobbying channels.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Comprehensive	Infosys has demonstrated comprehensive transparency in disclosing its climate lobbying activities. It clearly describes its lobbying mechanisms and targets, stating that it “has engaged with the power distribution companies to provide necessary support for the access of renewable energy under Green Tariff mechanism,” and working with state governments—including Maharashtra, Telangana, Kerala, Punjab, and Haryana—through participation in the RE100 India Policy Ask formulation. The company names the specific policy areas it has lobbied, such as renewable energy uptake, green electricity tariff, and energy efficiency in buildings, and details its work shaping solar policies across these states. Infosys is also explicit about the outcomes it seeks, highlighting efforts to facilitate “access of renewable energy under Green Tariff mechanism” and secure “green power for its Bhubaneshwar and Hyderabad campus under Green Tariff mechanism during FY 23,” as well as to enable scalable corporate adoption of renewable energy targets. These disclosures demonstrate a comprehensive level of transparency around its climate policy engagement.	A
