HCL's commitment to sustainable development
HCL believes that integrating sustainability issues within our core business would be of strategic importance for attaining our vision of "creating tomorrow's enterprise together". We believe that the three key areas of sustainability for HCL's future success would require us to plan and act upon:
- Taking a lead on managing environmental issues such as climate change and
e-waste
- Bringing about innovation and technological changes
- Attracting and retaining talent
HCL wishes to report in an incremental manner on key sustainability indicators drawing inspiration from the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) indicators as well as from the core sustainability issues that it manages on a day to day basis integrated in its core business functions.
Key initiatives under sustainable development:
HCL's environmental and chemical policies derived from its commitment to sustainable development and its vision are geared to drive its environment management program ensuring minimal impacts on the environment through its products and operations. HCL strives to extend its internal duty of care for the environment through the EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) covering the following ongoing initiatives:
- HCL's E-Waste Management program
- Internal waste Management program
- HCL's initiative on RoHS compliance
- HCL's initiative on phasing out of toxic chemicals
- HCL's initiative on increased use of recycled materials
- HCL's Pan India support services
- Customer awareness programs on EMS
HCL Supports the Company's Financial Responsibility for End of Life Product Management and offers its customers recycling options. HCL offers corporate clients up-gradations and replacement options for its product range. HCL supports the need to have an EPR/IPR policy framework for our country over a period of time and believes that a comprehensive legislation on these is the need of the hour as enshrined in the Draft Guidelines for Environmentally sound management of e-waste (by the Central Pollution Control Board and the Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of India) and the National Environmental Policy.
