Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

Virtusa is committed to reaching net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by FY2040.

• Near-Term Targets (by FY2030):
  • Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 75% from a FY2020 base year.
  • Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, business travel, and employee commuting by 42% from a FY2020 base year.
• Long-Term Targets (by FY2040):
  • Reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% from a FY2020 base year.
  • Reach net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain.

Earlier targets included reducing Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) emissions by 25% by 2025 from a 2018 base year, and reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 40% by 2030 from a 2016 base year (intensity target). Another stated long-term goal was to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 70% by 2050 from a 2013 base year.
