Wipro tops Greenpeace’s greener electronics guide

Wipro debuted at the No 1 position in the international version of Greenpeace’s Guide to Greener Electronics, scoring a 7.1 out of 10, largely due to its efforts to use renewable energy and advocate for greener energy policies in India. Wipro also scored well on post consumer e-waste collection for recycling, and for phasing out hazardous substances from its products.

Wipro and three other Indian consumer electronics companies were assessed separately in a version of the Guide to Greener Electronics specifically for Indian companies, using the same set of criteria from 2007 to 2011.
