Tech Mahindra Earns Spot in FTSE4Good Index Series for Ninth Consecutive Year, Reinforcing Global ESG Leadership
Tech Mahindra, a leading global provider of technology consulting and digital transformation solutions, has once again been recognized for its unwavering commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) excellence with its inclusion in the prestigious FTSE4Good Index Series for the ninth consecutive year. This recognition, awarded by FTSE Russell—a globally trusted provider of financial indexes and data—underscores the company’s consistent efforts in driving sustainable and responsible business practices.
The FTSE4Good Index Series serves as a vital tool for investors and stakeholders seeking to identify companies that demonstrate strong ESG credentials. Designed to measure the performance of companies with established and transparent ESG practices, the index is widely used by asset managers and investors to construct and assess responsible investment portfolios and ESG-themed financial products. Companies listed on the index must meet stringent, continuously evolving criteria across a variety of environmental, social, and governance dimensions.
For nearly a decade, Tech Mahindra’s continuous presence in the index has not only positioned it as a sustainability-focused global technology leader but has also highlighted its resilience, strategic foresight, and commitment to long-term value creation. The achievement is reflective of the company’s integrated ESG strategy, which is deeply embedded across its operations, leadership ethos, stakeholder engagement, and innovation agenda.
Rigorous Evaluation Based on Core ESG Metrics
FTSE Russell’s evaluations cover a wide spectrum of ESG factors. Companies are assessed on their performance in areas such as corporate governance, risk management, environmental impact, health and safety, labor standards, anti-corruption efforts, and climate change mitigation. Tech Mahindra’s inclusion for the ninth year in a row signals its maturity and consistency in addressing these key areas—an increasingly critical factor in today’s corporate landscape where ESG performance significantly influences investor confidence, customer loyalty, and regulatory approval.
Being listed in the FTSE4Good Index not only validates Tech Mahindra’s current ESG practices but also enhances its reputation as a company that aligns its growth trajectory with global sustainability goals. It reassures stakeholders that the organization maintains a high degree of transparency and accountability in its operations while actively contributing to broader global frameworks such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and the Paris Climate Agreement.
A Purpose-Driven Approach to Sustainable Business
At the heart of Tech Mahindra’s ESG strategy lies a purpose-driven approach that emphasizes ethical business conduct, inclusivity, and climate action. Over the years, the company has rolled out multiple initiatives focused on carbon neutrality, renewable energy adoption, water conservation, community development, and digital inclusion.
In addition, the organization’s digital solutions increasingly incorporate ESG principles, empowering clients across industries to embrace greener technologies, implement more inclusive workplace strategies, and operate in socially responsible ways. Whether through green data centers, AI-powered energy management platforms, or sustainability-focused consulting, Tech Mahindra actively supports its clients in achieving their own ESG goals.
This outward-looking philosophy amplifies the company’s impact beyond its own footprint and showcases how digital transformation and sustainability can go hand in hand.
Leadership Perspective on ESG
Commenting on the achievement, Sandeep Chandna, Chief Sustainability Officer at Tech Mahindra, stated:
“As ESG considerations move from optional to essential across boardrooms globally, the technology industry is increasingly expected to lead with transparency, resilience, and impact. Tech Mahindra’s ninth consecutive inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index showcases our unwavering commitment to responsible business practices and affirms that our efforts in governance, risk management, and climate leadership are globally acknowledged.”
Chandna emphasized that ESG is no longer just about regulatory compliance or investor expectations—it’s about creating long-term societal value and strengthening the social contract between businesses and their communities. He further noted that Tech Mahindra remains dedicated to integrating sustainability into every facet of its operations—from supply chains and employee engagement to product development and corporate strategy.
Bridging the ESG Credibility Gap
As ESG performance becomes a defining benchmark for global investors, business partners, and customers alike, independent validation through respected global frameworks such as FTSE4Good has gained unprecedented importance. In an era where greenwashing and superficial sustainability claims are under increasing scrutiny, inclusion in such indexes provides objective assurance that a company’s ESG efforts are authentic, measurable, and effective.
For Tech Mahindra, the recognition contributes not only to investor confidence but also enhances the company’s competitive edge in global markets where ESG performance is increasingly becoming a deciding factor for contracts, funding, and strategic partnerships.
Moreover, this independent validation adds depth and legitimacy to the company’s ESG reporting, helping bridge the often-cited credibility gap that organizations face when substantiating their environmental and social performance.
Aligning with Global Trends and Expectations
The nine-year streak in the FTSE4Good Index reflects Tech Mahindra’s ability to anticipate and adapt to shifting global expectations around corporate responsibility. As the conversation around ESG matures—from a niche concern to a mainstream business imperative—companies are under pressure to move beyond symbolic gestures and implement systemic, measurable change.
Tech Mahindra has responded proactively, weaving ESG into its core governance structures, performance indicators, and innovation roadmaps. From reducing its greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing its diversity and inclusion metrics to advancing digital literacy among underserved communities, the company has made measurable progress on all fronts.
Additionally, Tech Mahindra continues to engage with key stakeholders—including employees, investors, clients, NGOs, and governments—to align its ESG initiatives with stakeholder priorities. The company’s emphasis on stakeholder engagement ensures that its sustainability roadmap remains both relevant and inclusive.
Paving the Way for a More Sustainable Digital Future
Tech Mahindra’s continued recognition by FTSE Russell highlights the growing intersection of digital innovation and sustainability. As enterprises around the world transition toward more responsible and resilient business models, Tech Mahindra is poised to lead this transformation by offering digital solutions that are as ethical and environmentally conscious as they are cutting-edge.
Its commitment to ESG is not a separate initiative—it is central to its identity as a future-ready enterprise. The company envisions a world where digital technology is a force for positive change—creating smarter, greener, and more inclusive societies.
