In collaboration with the Alliance for an Energy-Efficient Economy and the Indian Institute for Human Settlements, the technology bellwether has started ASSURE, a programme aiming to help the decarbonisation of the construction sector and cement the country's global leadership in climate action and sustainability
Infosys, a world-leading next-gen digital services and consulting company, has teamed up with the Alliance for an Energy-Efficient Economy (AEEE) and the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS) to launch a programme called 'ASSURE' (Accelerating Sustainable and Super-efficient Real Estate).
ASSURE aims to decarbonise India's commercial building sector and cement the country's global leadership in climate action and sustainability. This will be achieved by realising 100 million square feet of high-performance commercial buildings in India by 2030. AEEE is India's leading policy support and implementation organisation, which catalyses the responsible use of energy for a climate-resilient and energy-secure future. IIHS is India's prospective institution of eminence and interdisciplinary national university focused on urbanisation.
ASSURE is a global initiative aimed at implementing high-performance buildings on a large scale. It brings together experts, innovators, enterprises, and the government to provide technical assistance to lighthouse projects, develop ecosystem-wide capacity, and demonstrate viability by taking inspiration from Infosys' campuses. In addition, ASSURE will foster entrepreneurship, collaborate with government bodies to build an enabling policy ecosystem and engage with large financial institutions to implement high-performance commercial buildings.
