Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Wipro discloses some high-level structures that could encompass lobbying oversight but provides only limited detail on how lobbying, particularly climate-related lobbying, is governed or aligned with its climate strategy. The company notes that its company-wide Code of Business Conduct "covers critical aspects like … anti-corruption, political involvement/lobbying," and explains that "Wipro's compliance processes are overseen by the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee, and the Corporate Compliance Committee." This indicates that lobbying activities fall under a documented policy and that board-level bodies review compliance with that policy. However, beyond stating that the code includes lobbying, the disclosure does not specify any dedicated procedure for monitoring lobbying positions, assessing alignment with the Paris-aligned "Ecological Sustainability" policy, or evaluating the stances of trade associations, and we found no evidence of a climate-lobbying review or public report. While the COBC’s scope suggests that breaches can be reported through the Ombuds process—"all complaints received through the Ombuds process and investigative findings are reviewed and approved by the Chief Ombuds person"—this mechanism is described generically and not in the context of lobbying alignment. The sustainability governance architecture (“the Chief Human Resources Officer also acts as the Chief Sustainability Officer, and reports to the Wipro Executive Committee”) focuses on environmental strategy but does not explicitly reference oversight of advocacy or policy engagement. Accordingly, the company shows limited lobbying governance: oversight bodies are identified, yet the process for reviewing, aligning, and managing direct or indirect climate-related lobbying is not disclosed.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Wipro offers only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. Its disclosures note participation in broad advocacy platforms and business associations such as ‘Transform to Net Zero’, the CII Climate Change Council, the Business Round Table, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, indicating that it relies on indirect engagement through industry bodies but without identifying any specific government decision-makers or detailing activities like meetings, letters, or consultations. The company does not name any particular laws, regulations, or policy proposals it has tried to influence, nor does it state that its involvement is confined to a defined set of policies. Likewise, beyond general statements about pursuing net-zero emissions and supporting sustainability issues such as energy, water, and waste management, Wipro does not articulate the concrete legislative or regulatory outcomes it seeks through these forums. As a result, readers are left with only a broad sense that the company participates in sustainability discussions, but no clear picture of which climate policies it targets, how it seeks to influence them, or the specific changes it hopes to achieve.
