The program is designed to be the world's largest organized effort to implement high-performance buildings at scale. It will bring together experts, innovators, enterprises, and the government to provide technical assistance to lighthouse projects, develop ecosystem-wide capacity, and demonstrate viability inspired by Infosys' campuses¹. Additionally, ASSURE will foster entrepreneurship, collaborate with government agencies to create a supportive policy environment, and engage with large financial institutions to implement these high-performance commercial buildings.
Nandan Nilekani, Co-founder and Chairman of Infosys, emphasized the opportunity this collaboration presents for India's building sector to contribute significantly to the nation's sustainability goals. He expressed enthusiasm about amplifying the potential of the nationwide community of industry leaders, practitioners, knowledge institutions, and students to drive positive climate action.
ASSURE is not just about meeting global standards but setting new ones, with rigorous performance validation and ambitious emissions reduction targets to transform building practices and drive real change. Infosys, which became carbon neutral in 2020, is continuing its efforts to realize its ESG 2030 vision and transition to low-carbon operations. This collaboration marks a pivotal step in paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future.
Infosys is an early mover in setting and achieving ESG goals, advocating for responsible business over the decades. Infosys became carbon neutral in 2020, 30 years ahead of the timeline set by the Paris Agreement and has aggressively progressed commitments and efforts to realize its ESG 2030 vision, and transition to low-carbon operations.
