The CSM Tech, an Indian IT consulting firm with a business footprint in Africa, US and Dubai, has joined the league of 376 signatories to have signed the Climate Pledge for achieving a net-zero world by 2040. The company is the seventh Indian firm and the first from Odisha to be the signatory to the pledge.
The CSM has joined the cohorts of 376 organizations, including big corporations like Amazon, Microsoft, Uber, Siemens, Schneider, Coca Cola, IBM, Phillips and VISA, to have pledged to protect the planet and invest efforts for a green, sustainable future.
The timing of the announcement assumes significance amid the ongoing Climate Week NYC that kicked off virtually in New York on September 19.
Priyadarshi Nanu Pany, Founder and CEO of CSM Tech said, “The pledge will spur us to reinvigorate our efforts for a greener, sustainable earth. We are acutely aware of the pernicious impact of climate change and believe that smart technologies can significantly mitigate them. We have been advocating the use of Clean Tech through our disruptive solutions and will continue to stay invested in this journey of sustainable disruption.”
The Climate Pledge is a commitment to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040— that’s 10 years ahead of the timeline stipulated in the Paris Agreement.
