1.1 The sources. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd.'s environmental footprint has four sources, in rough order of size for a cloud-hosted software company:

1.2 What Pensieve does not have. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. owns no vehicles, operates no fuel-combustion plant, runs no data centre, and manufactures, imports and sells no physical product. Several categories of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol value-chain (scope 3) standard therefore do not apply to it. This Policy states those categories as not applicable rather than reporting them as zero without explanation.

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard divides emissions into three scopes: scope 1, direct emissions from owned sources; scope 2, purchased electricity; and scope 3, everything else in the value chain, across fifteen categories. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. uses that framing and is candid about which parts it measures today.

2.1 Scope 1. Near zero. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. owns no vehicles and operates no combustion source. No figure is compiled because there is no material source to compile.

2.2 Scope 2. The office's purchased electricity is metered by the supplier and is available from billing. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. does not currently publish a converted emissions figure, and makes no renewable-energy claim for its office supply.

2.3 Scope 3. The largest part of the footprint, and the hardest to measure precisely. For DM-1 and DM-2, Google Cloud provides a per-project Carbon Footprint report covering the scope 1, scope 2 (both location-based and market-based) and scope 3 emissions the provider attributes to Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd.'s usage. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. can retrieve that data for its own projects. Two honest qualifications apply: the provider's carbon data is not independently audited or assured, and its figures can change between years as the provider's methodology changes. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. will not present cloud emissions as audited.

2.4 The boundary that avoids double counting. For cloud-delivered deployments (DM-1, DM-2, DM-3) the energy used to run Pensieve is the cloud compute already accounted for as a purchased service. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. does not additionally count a use-phase figure for the same compute. For DM-4, the Platform runs on the hospital's own hardware, and that use-phase energy is the hospital's, not Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd.'s. The boundary is stated so that no emission is counted twice and none is silently dropped.

2.5 The maturity position. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. does not compile a full organisation-wide greenhouse-gas inventory today. Its current measurement position, and any target, are recorded in the table at 8.3 and reviewed annually.

3.1 The provider. Pensieve runs on Google Cloud Platform. The full list of infrastructure and software-as-a-service suppliers is the Subprocessor Register (DIS-GL-009); this Policy does not restate it.

3.2 Where the compute footprint falls, by model. For DM-1 and DM-2, the compute runs in Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd.'s Google Cloud organisation and is Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd.'s purchased service. For DM-3, the same software runs inside a Google Cloud project the hospital owns and pays for, so the compute energy is the hospital's. For DM-4, the Platform runs on the hospital's own hardware in the hospital's own server room, and the hardware, its power and its cooling are the hospital's. Pensieve Labs states this plainly: DM-4 moves the operational footprint to the hospital, and Pensieve Labs neither controls nor counts it.

3.3 Efficiency, stated as a principle and not a measured claim. A hyperscale cloud region is generally operated at a higher energy efficiency than an individual hospital server room, and pooled multi-tenant infrastructure (DM-2) carries less idle capacity per hospital than dedicated (DM-1) or on-premise (DM-4) infrastructure. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. states this as one reason it recommends a hosted model where a hospital has no overriding reason to self-host. It does not publish a comparative figure and does not claim a specific efficiency number.

3.4 What Pensieve controls and what it does not. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. controls how efficiently Pensieve uses compute: right-sizing services, scaling to demand, and shutting down non-production environments when they are idle. It does not control the energy mix of the cloud region or of the hospital's server room. It reports the first as within its control and the second as outside it.

4.1 Device lifecycle. Employee devices are inventoried, maintained and retired under the Asset Management Policy (POL-GL-103). Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. extends the working life of a device rather than replacing it on a fixed cycle, because the largest environmental cost of a laptop is incurred in its manufacture.

4.2 Secure disposal. A device or storage medium at end of life is wiped or destroyed under POL-GL-103 Section 3.5 and the Data Retention and Disposal Policy (POL-GL-111) before it leaves Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd.'s control. This Policy does not restate that method; it adds the environmental requirement that follows it.

4.3 The environmental requirement. After secure erasure, end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment is routed to a recycler or refurbisher registered with the Central Pollution Control Board, and the disposal is recorded in the Asset Register (REG-GL-201). Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. does not route retired equipment to the informal sector and does not send it to landfill.

4.4 The regulatory position under the E-Waste Rules. The E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 place Extended Producer Responsibility on a "producer" of electrical and electronic equipment: an entity that manufactures, imports, or sells such equipment under its own brand. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. is none of these; it consumes IT equipment as an end user. Under the 2022 Rules a consumer of IT equipment that is not a producer, refurbisher, dismantler or recycler has no portal registration and no annual-return filing obligation, and the annual-return duty that "bulk consumers" carried under the earlier 2016 Rules was removed by the 2022 Rules. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd.'s substantive duty is therefore the one at 4.3: to channel end-of-life equipment to a registered handler. It keeps disposal records as good practice and to answer customer questionnaires, not because a filing is due.

5.1 Business travel. Deploying and supporting a hospital operating system requires some travel to site, most heavily around go-live. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. reduces it structurally: a hosted deployment (DM-1, DM-2) is delivered and supported largely remotely, and on-site presence is concentrated where it is needed rather than sustained. DM-4 on-premise deployments require the most on-site work, which is one of the reasons a hosted model is recommended.

5.2 The office. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. operates from office premises at Bulandshahar. Its controls there are ordinary and proportionate: it uses grid electricity, runs no production servers of its own, and disposes of waste through the ordinary municipal and registered-recycler routes. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. makes no claim that its office is powered by renewable energy.

6.1 The supplier expectation. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd.'s environmental expectations of its suppliers are stated in the Supplier Code of Conduct (POL-GL-071) and are not restated here. In summary, a supplier is expected to comply with applicable environmental law, to manage and reduce its own emissions and waste, and to dispose of electronic waste responsibly.

6.2 The asymmetry, stated openly. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd.'s largest supplier by environmental footprint is its cloud provider, which will not countersign a small customer's code. For a supplier of that size, Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. relies on the provider's own published environmental commitments and disclosures rather than on a signature it cannot obtain, and records that assessment. For a smaller supplier over which it has real influence, it requires acceptance of the Supplier Code. POL-GL-071 sets out which mechanism applies to which supplier.

7.1 India: no BRSR filing obligation. The Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report required by the Securities and Exchange Board of India applies to the top one thousand listed companies by market capitalisation. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. is an unlisted private limited company; it is not a listed entity and has no BRSR filing obligation. It can be asked for environmental data as a value-chain partner of a listed customer, which is a data request and not a filing duty.

7.2 Mandatory due-diligence and reporting laws reach Pensieve only through its customers. Laws such as the European Union's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, and Norway's Transparency Act, impose direct duties on large enterprises well above Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd.'s size. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. is not a regulated entity under any of them. It can be reached only as one supplier inside a covered customer's value chain, where the customer asks it for environmental data. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. responds to such a request with this Policy and the provider carbon data described at 2.3. Where the applicable law caps the information a covered customer may require from a small business partner, Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. answers to that cap and no further.

7.3 Certification and tender criteria. Some customer tenders, particularly in the Nordic markets, score an environmental management system, for example ISO 14001, EMAS, or the Norwegian Eco-Lighthouse, or apply a minimum environmental weighting to the award. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. holds no environmental certification today and is not certified to ISO 14001. Where a tender requires one, Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. states its position honestly and responds with this Policy and the data it can provide, rather than presenting a certificate it does not hold.

8.1 What Pensieve commits to. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. shall:

8.1.1 route all end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment to a registered recycler or refurbisher and record it (4.3);

8.1.2 prefer extending a device's working life to replacing it on a fixed cycle (4.1);

8.1.3 recommend the more efficient hosted deployment models where a hospital has no overriding reason to self-host (3.3);

8.1.4 retrieve and review the cloud provider's carbon data for its own projects at least annually; and

8.1.5 respond to a customer's value-chain environmental request with this Policy and that data (7.2).

Each commitment is testable: there is a disposal record, a device inventory, a deployment recommendation on file, an annual review, and a response on record.

8.2 What Pensieve does not claim. Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. makes no claim of carbon neutrality or net zero. It buys no carbon offsets. It holds no environmental certification and is not certified to ISO 14001. It has not set a validated science-based emissions target. It presents no cloud emissions figure as audited or assured.

8.3 The maturity and limitations table. The honest state of Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd.'s environmental measurement is:

8.4 On not setting a target yet. For a company of Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd.'s size, whose material footprint sits inside a cloud provider's service, Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. has judged that compiling a precise but unaudited inventory and announcing a target it cannot yet substantiate would be less honest than stating the position plainly. Where the position changes, the values at 8.3 are updated in the central registry, which propagates to this published Policy, and the change is recorded in the change history.

9.1 Roles.

9.2 Review. This Policy is reviewed annually, on any change to the applicable environmental law in a market Edsol Edtech Pvt. Ltd. operates in, and on any material change to the cloud provider, the office, or the deployment-model mix. The review date is 03 August 2027.
