Genpact Joins TIME’s 2025 Sustainable Growth Elite—Blending Profit with Purpose
Genpact, the digital transformation firm best known for helping Fortune 500s run smarter, just earned a new accolade: a place on TIME’s World’s Best Companies in Sustainable Growth 2025. That puts the New York Stock Exchange-listed company (NYSE: G) in rare air—recognized not just for financial performance, but for tying that performance to a lighter environmental footprint and a culture of responsibility.
TIME and Statista’s global ranking evaluated 5,700 companies and landed on 500 standouts that are threading the needle between profitability and planet-positive operations. Genpact made the cut based on revenue growth, energy efficiency, carbon emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3), and water and waste minimization, among other sustainability markers.
Why This Recognition Is More Than Greenwashing
Genpact’s inclusion isn’t just another feather in its already crowded awards cap—it signals how B2B tech and services firms are being held to the same ESG standards as consumer-facing brands. In an industry where environmental impact can seem abstract or indirect, Genpact stands out for making measurable sustainability part of its business DNA.
“At Genpact, we don’t just deliver results—we create sustainable impact,” said Balkrishan ‘BK’ Kalra, President and CEO. “Our commitment to responsible business practices and our team’s relentless innovation enable us to drive meaningful outcomes for our clients and contribute to a better future for all.”
The company’s ESG efforts extend beyond carbon reporting. Genpact is deeply invested in upskilling its global workforce—not just in AI and data analytics, but in purpose-driven leadership, helping clients and employees alike prioritize long-term sustainability alongside quarterly KPIs.
A Track Record of Ethics and Engagement
The TIME recognition follows a string of notable honors for Genpact. It was recently named one of the 2025 World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere for the seventh time—no small feat in an era where corporate ethics are under constant scrutiny. And it’s held a spot on Forbes’ World’s Best Employers list for four years running.
That kind of consistency speaks to a culture that values more than just bottom-line success. Genpact’s approach to talent development, responsible tech deployment, and ethical governance is resonating not just with clients, but with watchdogs and analysts, too.
Zooming Out: What This Means for the Industry
As ESG increasingly factors into enterprise vendor selection and board-level decision-making, companies like Genpact are setting the tone for what “tech for good” really looks like in practice. Where some firms slap a sustainability label on minimal progress, Genpact is showing that responsible growth can be strategic, scalable, and still profitable.
Its inclusion in the TIME list serves as a subtle challenge to competitors in tech services, consulting, and digital transformation: adapt ESG into your operating model—or risk falling behind not just in brand perception, but in actual business performance.
