Infosys Technologies celebrates World Environment Day 2009

Infosys Technologies celebrated the World Environment Day 2009, through an
awareness drive organized by the Infosys Voice of Youth team and the Infy
eco-club, with active participation from employees. This marked the culmination
of a week-long celebration at Infosys, as part of an ongoing effort by the
company to encourage environment conservation consciousness and engage
Infoscions to work towards achieving environmental sustainability.

As a part of this campaign, Infosys kicked off a 'Polythene bag-Free
Commitment' across all Infosys campuses globally. This initiative seeks to ban
the use of polythene bags by Infosys employees in an effort to reduce the
consumption of non-biodegradable plastics. NGOs like Sandhi and others were
invited to set up stalls in the Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mysore and Pune Infosys
campuses, to introduce, build awareness and make available eco-friendly cloth
bags as alternatives to polythene bags.

Instant dipstick quizzes were conducted across campuses, with questions on
Infoscions' role in ensuring energy efficiency and environment conservation,
while also educating them in this regard. Movie screenings aimed at enhancing
the environmental consciousness of employees were also organized at some
campuses.

Throughout the week, Infy TV, the internal television network of Infosys
aired messages from senior management and employees actively propagating the
need to become energy efficient and environment-friendly, and the different ways
to go about this task. The senior management led by example by taking oaths on
Environment Day to actively commit themselves to eco-friendly initiatives.
