SUSTAINABILITY AT WIPRO

It stems from the belief that corporations are socio-economic citizens and that their objectives have to be congruent with society's goals. Today, they wield significant capacity to influence social issues, i.e. power to do good. This is a responsibility and must manifest in thoughtful and deliberate set of initiatives, not in charity. These must reflect the same level of rigor & strategic thinking as in business initiatives.

Business wields enormous power and influence in todays world, both, economic and sociopolitical With this power comes the concomitant responsibility to do good in larger canvas Spirit of Wipro emphasize respect for all stakeholders and are the ethical bedrock of conducting business which is non-negotiable under any circumstance In engaging with the issues of sustainability, business must do so in a manner that is consistent with its core drivers; a spirit of innovation, financial and operational rigour, a keen focus on outcomes are attributes of business sector and these must inform business action in sustainability in equal measure. Conviction that the organization must completely avoid cheque book philanthropy and must get involved directly Prefer to avoid using the term Corporate Social Responsibility as the term can be perceived to have a patronizing connotation to it; Sustainability is a more inclusive and appropriate term that suggests a proactive, comprehensive, and futureoriented range of engagements
