As the world’s third largest greenhouse gas producer and a global node for technology innovation, India has been encouraging firms operating in the country to reduce their carbon footprint for some time now.

Homegrown companies Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank and others have pledged to reduce their carbon footprint as early as 2030 while multinational firms like Cisco and SAP have doubled down on sustainability initiatives in the country.

Take Cisco’s Bangalore campus, for example. The entire campus is powered primarily by renewable sources, and the company has gone from using 2% renewable energy in 2015 to 66% in 2021.

Anand Patil, senior director for systems engineering at Cisco in India and the South Asia region, said addressing climate change is a long-term strategic priority for the company.
