THE ECO EYE Eco Eye is the corporation wide initiative Wipro

launched recently.

To promote ecologically sustainable practices in various facets of its business.

The eco-eye blueprint embraced several goals to ●reduce the organization's carbon foot print ● manage its water and energy efficiently ● developing new benchmarks in recycling

waste.

● minimize the use of hazardous substances

● become ecologically sustainable ●motivate all employees to follow

green practices Some of the initiatives adopted to make its

internal operations green has resulted in 13% reduction in average electricity consumption in 2007-08 over 2001-02.

GREEN DATA CENTRES AND VIRTUALISATION

Green Data centers provide Wipro's

customers end-to-end services for better utilization of their capacity, thereby helping enterprises to minimize their use of power, cooling and housing equipment, which cause greenhouse gases.

The data centers apply practices such as server virtualization to minimize the amount of equipment required for operations.

It helps in reduction of total number of servers required from 400 to 100.

An annual savings of nearly one million KWH of power.

“Wipro’s initiative on Bio-Gas from Organic Waste was selected as one of the 26 "Good Practices" for 2009. These good practices were all deemed to have made outstanding contributions to improving the quality of life in their cities and communities”..

WIPRO GREEN BUILDING-A BEST EXAMPLE

22.3% more energy efficiency dimmable ballasts and movement sensors manufactured by

Wipro Lighting eliminated ozone-depleting chemicals and use of light shelves for increasing the natural lighting

in the building resulting in low lighting density requirement.

New technologies such as chilled Beam systems have been implemented to enhance the energy savings

Incorporates day lighting, use low off-emitting materials, provides operable windows and occupant control of work space, improved delivery of ventilation air

GREEN LIGHTING SOLUTIONS

Complete range of Brightness Management Products for Green Buildings.

Ability to integrate lighting & and lighting management systems for Green Building performance standards

Role of Lighting for GREEN buildings: 17 % – 20% of the overall building’s energy usage

Optimize Energy Performance High efficiency luminaire design High efficiency light sources - Compact Fluorescent Lamp,

LED, etc. Lighting controls High efficiency control gear Personalized controls through task lighting Intelligent lighting systems

“Energy is Life

Conservation is instinct of life”

GREEN IT SOLUTIONS

Implement renewable energy sources to reduce carbon foot print

Improved airflow management & lighting system for energy efficiency

Energy efficient cooling system including use of free cooling system

Applying Six Sigma approach Diagnose: Understand your energy use &

opportunities for improvement. Measure & Manage: Capture & control usage

with Energy Management Software

Improve: Plan, build & upgrade to energy efficient data centers

Energize: Use innovative and renewable energy solutions

Consolidate: Implement consolidation & server virtualization

To deliver more energy efficient Data Centers that: Require less energy to operate due to structured

operations Require less energy to cool Require less energy to house, i.e. occupies less space

INITIATIVES TAKEN Wipro's Green Machines (In India Only)

Wipro Infotech was India’s first company to launch environment friendly computer peripherals.

For the Indian market, Wipro has launched a new range of desktops and laptops called Wipro Greenware.

The main features of Wipro Greenware are, Energy star certification Energy Conservation mechanism in electronic

components Compliant with environment & safety standards and

statutory regulations Recyclable & degradable packing materials WEEE - Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment

Consulting Wipro’s expertise in consulting services

extends to creating ecologically sustainable enterprises.

Green Data Centers increased efficiency in terms of energy

usage, power consumption, space utilization and reduction of polluting energy sources

It also helps reduce greenhouse gases, allowing you to save money while saving the earth.

Carbon Management Solution It enables the company to become a carbon-

neutral and carbon positive organization Paperless Office Solutions enabling a greener tomorrow.

Virtualization Virtualization is the process of greening the

data centers through limited use of power by initiating fewer systems in the IT infrastructure.

Smart Devices used to reduce carbon emissions

Early adoption and transition to LCD Monitors from conventional CRTs (ratio 90:10) - CRT is almost nil except for a few and rare specific customer needs.

Our products are consciously chosen on the basis that they work on low power source - transitioned from 300Watts standard to 250Watts across entire desktop range.

Some examples of our Energy Conservation Initiatives include, implementation of Solar panels and LED lights at the Sarjapur campus, solar thermal water heating at the guest houses and a new bio-mass heating plant in EC4 campus.

Wipro has identified suitable disposal mechanisms; created service points across the country, identified technically competent disposal agencies and has set up a complete process for disposal of e-waste

WIPRO ECO ENERGY

Renewable energy business Provides customized solutions across the

renewable energy spectrum: solar, wind, biogas, biomass fuel & geothermal energy systems

Services offered: Consult / design and develop application Implement Operate & maintain

For: Industries & Institutions Trade & Commercial establishments

E-WASTE MANAGEMENT

Wipro will collect the discarded systems from customers.

Provide the discarded computers to vendors certified by Pollution control board .

Ensure collection and transport of systems

from customer to final waste disposal point.

Monitor the disposal of e-wastes by agency.

Wipro will submit form 9 and other documents required by Pollution control board .

They collect documentary proof that that these items have been disposed in a safe manner by the vendor.

Wipro regularly interacts with its customers

educating them on how to best utilize the Green services provided by wipro

Educating Customers

Responsibility

India's Smallest PC from Wipro, named PROTOS can deliver the user performance with a compact packet size Unit which can operate at 60 Watts Power Adapter like being used Notebooks

CC CAR POOLING

If individuals are not able to take advantage of cars with the latest energy saving technology, they can still utilize carpooling, park-and-ride and transit systems.

Wipro    has introduced a new software program which will take real-time requests making life easy for employees reaching office. The employees are using their mobile phones and a smart inhouse application to car-pool in real time, an initiative to help them save fuel and be eco-responsible

WE MUST CURVE OUR FUEL CONSUMPTION!

IF WE LIVE CLOSER TO WORK WE CAN AVOID THIS

FOR THE YOUNGER YEARS

An effort to incorporate energy conservation into education would not be complete unless a program was created to teach the youth of the country, particularly in the elementary and middle schools.

This program would consist of useful tips to conserve energy in the home simple enough for young students to grasp, such as turning of a light when they leave the room.

The program would also have a component to allow students to learn about the way their families use energy.

Students would be given a workbook including a worksheet about their families usage. Then they would learn about ways to reduce those levels.

Also included in this program would be education about renewable natural resources. Demonstrations on how the sunlight and wind can be turned into energy would be sure the capture the interest of the students.

Students could also be taken on field trips as a part of the program to learn about different ways that energy is produced in their areas. One possible option would be local power plants, refineries, or coal mines. These types of trips would differ depending on the area.

CONCLUSION The future promises cleaner energy sources and

more options that will allow individuals to leave a healthy environment for future generations.

Ethanol fuel is one of the cleaner energy sources that is here today and is being used in many parts of the country.

Advances in solar power are bringing that form of energy closer to being a feasible form of energy.

Use of renewable source of energy such as solar, wind, tidal, hydropower instead of non renewable energy such as coal, petroleum etc.
