In a significant achievement for HCLTech, the globally renowned technology firm has once again secured a spot in TIME's prestigious list of "The World's Most Sustainable Companies" for 2026. This recognition marks the second consecutive year that the company has earned this honor, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices.
For 2026, HCLTech ranks among the top five companies in the professional services sector and is notably the highest-placed Indian firm in this category. TIME, in collaboration with Statista, evaluated more than 5,800 companies worldwide based on over 20 sustainability indicators, encompassing areas such as commitments, reporting transparency, ecological and social responsibilities. This thorough assessment underscores HCLTech's relentless focus and dedication to environmental sustainability and corporate responsibility.
Stressing the company's alignment with the UN Global Compact and sustainable development goals, HCLTech has set new benchmarks in water management. Impressively, in the fiscal year 2026, the technology giant returned 51 times more water to the environment than it consumed. Furthermore, it maintained its Platinum certification for "Zero Waste to Landfill" across all premises, emphasizing its commitment to reducing waste and environmental impact.
