Launched in 1999, the S&P DJSI (World) is considered a global standard for corporate sustainability performance, and represents the top 10% of an industry/sector based on performance on a comprehensive range of Economic, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) parameters.
Commenting on the achievement, Thierry Delaporte, CEO and Managing Director, Wipro Limited, said, “It is a source of great pride that the S&P DJSI recognizes Wipro’s enduring commitment to sustainability, and especially as it represents a sector-record run of 12 years. Making the index is not just an achievement we aim for on an annual basis, however, but an absolute necessity if we are to help reach a carbon-free future, globally. We will strive to improve on every metric as we fight on against climate change, and to help make the world a better and more inclusive place.”
