A theme that has been gaining ground is sustainability. Large companies like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and HDFC Bank are planning to go green.

TCS, in a press release, announced its plans to reduce its absolute greenhouse emissions by 70 percent by 2025 and has targeted to have net-zero emissions by 2030. To achieve that the company will focus on addition of more green buildings, reduction of IT system power usage, and using AI to optimise energy consumption.

Apart from that, the company will also focus on greater use of renewable energy and carbon removal offsets.
