Tech Mahindra Ltd, a leading Indian technology and consulting firm, said on Thursday it had been featured in the FTSE4Good Index Series for the ninth consecutive year, a recognition of its ESG practices.
The FTSE4Good Index, created by global index provider FTSE Russell, assesses companies based on criteria including corporate governance, health and safety, anti-corruption measures and climate change initiatives. The index is used by investors to build and measure responsible investment portfolios.
ESG Credentials Reinforced
The continued inclusion underscores Tech Mahindra’s ESG strategy and aligns with rising expectations from global investors, regulators and customers for greater corporate transparency and sustainability leadership.
“As ESG considerations move from optional to essential across boardrooms globally, the technology industry is increasingly expected to lead with transparency, resilience and impact,” said Sandeep Chandna, chief sustainability officer at Tech Mahindra, in a press statement.
Sustainability Strategy Recognized
The company said the nine-year streak reflects the maturity and consistency of its ESG approach and its alignment with global benchmarks on climate resilience, social equity and ethical leadership.
Independent recognition from frameworks like FTSE4Good helps bridge the “credibility gap” faced by many firms when substantiating ESG claims, the company added.
DJSI Recognition Bolsters ESG Credentials
The announcement follows another major sustainability milestone for Tech Mahindra. In January, the company was ranked first in India and second globally in the 2024 S&P Dow Jones Sustainability Indices in the TSV IT services segment, which includes data processing, internet infrastructure, and IT consulting.
Tech Mahindra scored 88 points and was placed in the 100th percentile, reflecting top-tier performance across economic, environmental and social metrics.
The company was also included in both the DJSI World and DJSI Emerging Markets indices for the tenth consecutive year.
The DJSI World Index represents the top 10 percent of the largest 2,500 companies in the S&P Global Broad Market Index based on their long-term ESG performance.
