Sustainability Framework and Approach

Our sustainability framework is crafted to advance sustainable business practices with a targeted emphasis on addressing climate change. Upholding the principles of good governance, we are committed to driving positive societal change while pursuing our ambitious goal of achieving carbon-neutrality by 2030. To realize this objective, we identify and continuously monitor key aspects such as climate change, emissions, air and water quality, waste management, and energy consumption. Specific interim goals and targets aligned with these metrics, are established to progress towards our overarching carbon-neutrality ambition. These metrics are disclosed through Business Responsibility & Sustainability Reporting (BRSR). Additionally, we plan to disclose our sustainability KPIs through the Science-Based Targetinitiative (SBTi), and Climate Pledge, rated by Ecovadis, and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) aimed at providing comprehensive information to all stakeholders. This approach plays a significant role in influencing investors and market decisions and portrays Happiest Minds as a trusted partner among our customers.
