WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE: WNS), a leading provider of business
process outsourcing (BPO) services, today announced the launch of
its Green Lean Sigma Program, a company-wide initiative to address
energy conservation and reduction in impact of carbon emission. The
program marks WNS' first step towards realising its vision to be a
carbon-neutral company. "Improving the environment is now a
business imperative for leading companies across the world. Carbon
emissions and environmental issues are going to affect how
companies operate in the future. We at WNS recognize this and are
committed to becoming a carbon neutral company," said Neeraj
Bhargava, CEO of WNS Global Services. "The launch of the Green Lean
Sigma Program marks the first step towards realizing our vision. As
part of this program, we will embed Green Lean Sigma into our
business processes, and collaborate with our other stakeholders to
fulfil our responsibility." Roger Carr, Chairman of Centrica plc, a
leading integrated energy company, joined WNS at its Mumbai
headquarters today to launch the WNS Green Lean Sigma Program.
"Centrica seeks to decrease its overall impact on climate change
through efficient energy-use in its own operations and by
supporting other businesses to do the same," said Mr Carr. "We
commend WNS' vision to be a carbon neutral company and their
dedication to environmental issues." As part of its Green Lean
Sigma Program, WNS will leverage Six Sigma, LEAN and ISO
methodologies to redesign its processes to make them more energy
efficient, sensitize employees and tangibly contribute to being
environment friendly. The WNS Green Lean Sigma program has been
developed in consultation with Greenpeace. The WNS Green Lean Sigma
Program involves the following steps: -- Business intelligence to
leverage technology to drive toward becoming a paperless office --
Quality management systems to ensure environment conformance --
