The integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into corporate strategy is increasingly critical, particularly within India's globally significant Information Technology (IT) sector. This paper presents a comparative assessment of SDG alignment, focusing on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) expenditure patterns of India's four leading IT firms: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys Limited, Wipro Limited, and HCL Technologies Limited. Utilizing reported CSR project spending data from FY 2021-22 to FY 2023-24, the study benchmarks the scale of investment and analyses sectoral priorities, mapping expenditures against key SDGs including SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 3 (Good Health & Well-being), SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 8 (Decent Work & Economic Growth), SDG 6 (Clean Water & Sanitation), and others. Findings reveal significant variations in spending scale, with TCS consistently investing the most. While Education (SDG 4) and Healthcare (SDG 3) emerge as common high-priority sectors across all firms, distinct strategic focuses are evident. TCS heavily prioritizes large-scale Education initiatives, often via contributions. Infosys shows a strong emphasis on healthcare and unique environmental projects like clean cooking solutions. Wipro demonstrates growing investment with a pronounced focus on Environmental projects, particularly renewable energy, and higher education. HCL Tech maintains a balanced portfolio, distinguished by significant investments in direct Environmental action (afforestation, water body rejuvenation) and integrated Rural Development. This comparative analysis highlights differing corporate approaches to social responsibility within the Indian IT sector and underscores the need for greater standardization in sustainability reporting to facilitate robust benchmarking of SDG progress.
