DNV awards ESG Recognition to Persistent for robust, certified ESG Governance

[Pune, July 17 2026] Persistent Systems was officially awarded an ESG Recognition from DNV, confirming the Company’s use of certified management systems to support its ESG commitments.

Growing customer, stakeholder and regulatory expectations increasingly require companies to communicate their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance in trusted and traceable ways. DNV’s ESG Recognition confirms that Persistent operates certified management systems compliant with the ISO standards for Environment, Occupational Health and Safety, Quality, Artificial Intelligence, Privacy Information, Business Continuity and Information Security.

“We are proud to hand over ESG recognition to the leaders of Persistent, showcasing how the certified management systems they have chosen to operate are strategically linked to achieving their ESG ambitions. This ESG recognition from DNV demonstrates to stakeholders of Persistent how certified management systems are brought together in a single framework, connecting different dimensions of ESG. Congratulations to the leadership at all levels." 

Balamurugan Sambasivam, Area Manager, India and Middle East, DNV.

Persistent’s ESG commitment forms an important foundation of the Company’s strategic and operational framework. As part of this, the Company has pursued continuous improvement and progressive integration of its environmental, social and governance management systems.

A management system certified by a third party to standards such as those released by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) can actively contribute to supporting a company in delivering on its ESG commitment. This independently validated framework, aligned to best‑practice standards, provides a structured approach for a company to continually manage and improve its performance in any given area of its business.

“DNV’s ESG Recognition validates our efforts to integrate globally certified management systems across environment, safety, quality, information security, privacy, AI and business continuity into a unified, traceable framework. It reflects the rigor and transparency of our operating model while enhancing stakeholder trust and our ability to meet evolving regulatory and customer expectations. Most importantly, it positions Persistent to drive sustainable growth by aligning technology, governance and operational excellence with our long‑term ESG ambitions.” 

Vinit Teredesai, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director, Persistent.
