Sustainability Achievements

Demonstrating its commitment to environmental sustainability, Sasken Technologies achieved energy neutrality across all its India locations by December 2024. The Bengaluru campus stands out as a renewable energy champion, with 94% of its energy needs met directly from wind turbines. The Chennai facility contributes to the clean energy mix with 22% of its power coming from a combination of wind and solar sources. Overall, 78% of energy requirements across all facilities in Pune, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Chennai are fulfilled through renewable sources. To bridge the remaining gap and achieve a 100% green energy footprint, Sasken strategically utilizes International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-REC). This achievement solidifies Sasken’s position as an energy-neutral organization for its India operations, marking a significant stride towards meeting its ambitious SCOPE 2 carbon emission targets.
