Independent practitioner’s assurance report on Wipro Limited’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG)


Statement

The Management and Board of Directors

Wipro Limited
Doddakanneli,
Sarjapur Road,
Bengaluru – 560 035
Karnataka, India

Scope
We have been engaged by Wipro Limited to perform a ‘limited assurance engagement,’ as
defined by International Standards on Assurance Engagements, here after referred to as the
engagement, to report on the accompanying GHG statement of Wipro Limited 31 March 2023
and for the period from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023, comprising GHG inventory (the “Subject
Matter”).

Other than as described in the preceding paragraph, which sets out the scope of our engagement,
we did not perform assurance procedures on the remaining information included in the Report,
and accordingly, we do not express a conclusion on this information.

Criteria applied by Wipro Limited


In preparing the annual Greenhouse Gas (GHG), Wipro Limited applied the GHG Protocol
Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Criteria). GHG Protocol Criteria were specifically
designed for the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory; as a result, the subject matter information
may not be suitable for another purpose.

Wipro Limited’s responsibilities


Wipro Limited’s management is responsible for selecting the Criteria, and for presenting the GHG
inventory in accordance with that Criteria, in all material respects. This responsibility includes
establishing and maintaining internal controls, maintaining adequate records and making
estimates that are relevant to the preparation of the GHG statement, such that it is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

EY’s responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the presentation of the Subject Matter based on
the evidence we have obtained.

Our engagement was conducted in accordance with the International Standard for Assurance
Engagements on Greenhouse Gas Statements (‘ISAE 3410’) and the terms of reference for this
engagement as agreed with Wipro Limited on 19 April 2023.Those standards require that we plan
and perform our engagement to express a conclusion on whether we are aware of any material
modifications that need to be made to the Subject Matter in order for it to be in accordance with
the Criteria, and to issue a report. The nature, timing, and extent of the

1
procedures selected depend on our judgment, including an assessment of the risk of material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
limited assurance conclusion.

Our independence and quality management


We have maintained our independence and confirm that we have met the requirements of the
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board
for Accountants and have the required competencies and experience to conduct this assurance
review.
EY also applies International Standard on Quality Management 1, Quality Management for Firms
that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services
engagements, which requires that we design, implement and operate a system of quality
management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements,
professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Description of procedures performed


Procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and
are less in extent than for a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of
assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance
that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed. Our
procedures were designed to obtain a limited level of assurance on which to base our conclusion
and do not provide all the evidence that would be required to provide a reasonable level of
assurance.

Although we considered the effectiveness of management’s internal controls when determining


the nature and extent of our procedures, our assurance engagement was not designed to provide
assurance on internal controls. Our procedures did not include testing controls or performing
procedures relating to checking aggregation or calculation of data within IT systems.
The Green House Gas quantification process is subject to scientific uncertainty, which arises
because of incomplete scientific knowledge about the measurement of GHGs. Additionally, GHG
procedures are subject to estimation (or measurement) uncertainty resulting from the
measurement and calculation processes used to quantify emissions within the bounds of existing
scientific knowledge.

The engagement consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for preparing the
annual Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory and related information and applying analytical and
other relevant procedures.

Our procedures included:


• Conducted interviews with select personnel at sites and corporate teams to understand
the process for collecting, collating and reporting the subject matter as per GHG Protocol
Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard;
• Physical and remote verification of data, on a selective test basis, for the following sites,
through consultations with the site team and corporate sustainability team;
