Infosys (NSE, BSE, NYSE: INFY), a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, is the digital innovation partner for Economist Impact's The Sustainability Project. The initiative is the first from Economist Impact, a new business within The Economist Group designed to catalyze growth and create change through a combination of policy research and insights, creative innovation and influence by working with leading organisations, NGOs, governments and foundations. Today marks the launch of The Sustainability Project which will deliver new content and community tools designed to accelerate sustainability solutions and drive world-changing impact: economistimpact.com/sustainability.

Economist Impact's The Sustainability Project will actively engage a multi-disciplinary mix of stakeholders through market-leading policy research and insights, original content, events and interactive tools. To allow for an in-depth discussion around the most pressing issues, The Sustainability Project is designed to focus on five areas: Net Zero & Energy, Resilience & Adaptation, Circular Economies, Ecosystems & Resources and Social Sustainability.

Economist Impact and Infosys will continue to build upon the dynamic framework for The Sustainability Project including new interactive tools and community features that will enable convening and collaboration. This will include the development of a suite of participant services that will allow users to connect on solution-based discussions.

Claudia Malley, President/Managing Director partnerships, Economist Impact, said "We are working through a critical time in our world which is why we are investing in this new content and community platform. We are thrilled to work with Infosys on this important initiative to amplify the sustainability work from Economist Impact. We believe we can put the global spotlight on the most important issues around sustainability and elevate critical policy research, insights and partner work, not only to inform the discourse, but to convene the right community of leaders necessary for creating a sustainable future."

Ashiss Kumar Dash, EVP and Segment Head - services, utilities, resources, energy at Infosys, emphasized "As the digital innovation partner of The Sustainability Project, Infosys will bring its digital services and capabilities to create an innovative experience that will contextualize the important issues and facilitate solutions-based thinking in order to set the agenda for global sustainability transformation.
