Infosys to check Wrigley's carbon footprint

Infosys Technologies, the country’s second largest IT services provider, is providing solutions to chewing gum company Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, in reducing the latter’s carbon footprint it creates in its logistics operations.

Infosys has done a pilot to determine how much carbon emissions are produced and subsequently may be reduced across the company’s truck-based shipping operations in Western Europe.

Early in the pilot, Infosys identified logistics operations in which Wrigley may reduce its carbon footprint by as much as 20 per cent. The analysis will continue to evaluate Wrigley’s distribution network across six countries in Western Europe for the carbon dioxide emissions.
