At Wipro, we think that it is critical to engage with the social and ecological challenges that humanity is facing. It is our conviction that our engagement with social issues must be deep, meaningful and formed on the bedrock of long-term commitments. The central tenet of our approach has been an emphasis on strong and meaningful work on systemic social issues. Our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) policy reflects principles and strategies that have informed our long history of corporate citizenship and social responsibility.
Set up under Wipro Foundation, our initiatives in the domains of Education, Ecology, Healthcare, Disaster Response, and Cities and Public Spaces reflect these ideals. We work in these areas using an approach developed through decades of social sector interventions and with an objective of making structural transformations that can help us develop a humane, just and equitable society collectively.
Wipro-earthian, is one of our flagship programs, that combines our deep interest in the areas of education and ecology. Now in the 12th year, it is the only sustainability education program in India of its scale with diverse learning opportunities for both schools and colleges. This program has reached over 4,000+ colleges and 13,000+ schools since its inception. On the higher education front, we work with faculty in engineering, management and planning/design disciplines to co-create sustainability curricula and offer unique internships to students in the space of sustainability. In addition, we also run a large national sustainability quiz for college students that was launched in 2015 and has seen participation from 8,600 teams till date. In the next five years, we aim to expand our outreach further, and support platforms for deeper engagement with teachers and students across disciplinary boundaries.
