Wipro believes that being an integral part of society, corporate organizations must play an active role in furthering the cause of sustainability. We strongly endorse the view that corporations should transcend the limited worldview of seeing themselves as economic entities and must play an active role in society. Our legacy of values and good governance practices that go back to the inception of the company help us in this regard.
We view Sustainability Reporting as an important catalyst in the organizational development process of seeding and reinforcing sustainability into every aspect of the organization. Our Sustainability Report is predicated on the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) framework, one of the most widely accepted frameworks for sustainability reporting. Reporting on an organization’s sustainability performance is a powerful indicator of an organization’s culture of transparency and its sensitivity to larger societal and ecological issues.
