2. Introduction
Zero carbon refers to the state in which no net carbon
dioxide emissions are produced, either through human
activities or through natural processes. It involves
minimizing carbon emissions as much as possible and
offsetting any remaining emissions through carbon
sequestration or other means, effectively balancing carbon
emissions with carbon removal.

Conclusion

24. Indian company Wipro
faces a unique challenge
with its electricity
footprint - discover how
the company is reaching
its target of 100%
renewable energy by
2030.
CASE STUDY
One of the first seven companies with a validated net-zero target, Indian
multinational information technology services and consulting company
Wipro is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2040, and has an
near-term target of a 55% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 in absolute
emission levels compared to its base year of 2016-17.

25. The company faces a unique challenge, approximately 90% of
Wipro’s electricity footprint is concentrated in India where its large
operational centers for software services are sited. Meeting its target
of 100% renewable energy by 2030 and the associated reduction of
its scope 2 emissions will require the company to nearly double its
renewable energy consumption over the next eight years. Wipro’s
operations span at least seven states in India, meaning the company
faces an uneven landscape when it comes to sourcing renewable
energy. In India, electricity is a state subject and there is no
regulatory consistency across states when it comes to ease of access.
Challenges vary from tariff barriers, bureaucratic approvals and
adequate supply capacity.
CASE STUDY

26. Tackling scope 1 and 2 emissions
Wipro has adopted a two-pronged approach to reducing scope 1 and
2 emissions: use less energy, and increase renewable energy
consumption.
Wipro has adopted green building design principles for its sites, and
is engaging in constructive industry-led advocacy with different state
governments to facilitate increased clean electricity supply and
remove tariff barriers.
CASE STUDY

27. Since 2017, its renewable energy consumption has nearly doubled
from 28% to around 55% in 2022. Scope 1 and 2 emissions have
reduced by 23% in 2020 (pre-Covid) and by 52% in 2021.
Wipro is successfully demonstrating how to overcome some of the
challenges that are unique to companies in developing countries, and
is paving the way for more companies to follow them in the global
race to net-zero. As of April 2022, 20 Indian companies are
committed to reaching net-zero by 2050.
