Wipro Recognized by CDP for Climate Change Performance

Bangalore - January 24, 2014:

Wipro Ltd. (NYSE:WIT), a leading global information technology, consulting and outsourcing company today announced that it has been commended by CDP for the action it is taking to reduce emissions and mitigate the risks of climate change.

Wipro is featured in CDP’s Supplier Climate Performance Leadership Index (SCPLI). The SCPLI highlights those companies within CDP’s supply chain program that have demonstrated a strong approach to climate strategy and emissions reduction in their CDP responses. This program collects information on behalf of 64 multinational companies with combined annual spend of almost US $1.15trillion.

This index, compiled by FirstCarbon Solutions (FCS) on behalf of CDP, provides an evaluation tool for supply chain members and participating suppliers. In its pilot year we have 80 companies from the supply chain program represented in this year’s SCPLI, based on analysis of the 2868 responses to CDP’s 2013 supply chain questionnaire.

Speaking on the recognition, Mr Anurag Behar, Chief Sustainability Officer of Wipro Ltd, said, “We are pleased to be included in CDP Supply Chain’s climate performance leadership index. We see value in participating in such disclosure programs because it helps us constantly calibrate where we are and move the bar higher for ourselves.”

Paul Simpson, chief executive officer of CDP, commented: “Companies in the Supplier Climate Performance Leadership Index are demonstrating a clear commitment to manage their greenhouse gas emissions and take action on climate change. Organizations which work to reduce their emissions and integrate climate change issues into their business strategies have the potential for cost savings, revenue generating opportunities and, ultimately, a more resilient future.”

Robert Francisco, President of FirstCarbonSolutions, commented: “This year, FirstCarbon Solutions and CDP are publishing a list of the top performing suppliers as part of the SCPLI. 80 companies out of the 2868 that participated in this year's Supply Chain Program, including Wipro, are listed in this inaugural index which evaluates companies against each other and identifies best practices for improving climate change performance.”
