Introduction:

Public Company:

A public company is a company that has issued securities through an initial public offering
(IPO) and is traded on at least one stock exchange or the over-the-counter market. Although
a small percentage of shares may be initially floated to the public, becoming a public
company allows the market to determine the value of the entire company through daily
trading.

Private Company:

A private company is a company with private ownership. As a result, it does not need to
meet the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) strict filing requirements for public
companies. Private companies may issue stock and have shareholders, but their shares do
not trade on public exchanges and are not issued through an initial public offering (IPO).

Companies for Analysis:

1. Private Sector: Wipro

2. Public Sector: Indian Oil Corporation

What is Corporate Social Responsibility?

Corporate social responsibility, often abbreviated "CSR," is a corporation's initiatives to

assess and take responsibility for the company's effects on environmental and social
wellbeing. The term generally applies to efforts that go beyond what may be required by
regulators or environmental protection groups.

CSR may also be referred to as "corporate citizenship" and can involve incurring short-
term costs that do not provide an immediate financial benefit to the company, but instead
promote positive social and environmental change.

Govt. of India rules on CSR:

Every company having net worth of rupees five hundred crore or more, or turnover of
rupees one thousand crore or more or a net profit of rupees five crore or more during any
financial year shall constitute a Corporate Social Responsibility Committee of the Board
consisting of three or more directors, out of which at least one director shall be an
independent director. The board shall ensure that the company spends, in every financial
year, at least two per cent of the average net profits of the company made during the three
immediately preceding financial years, in pursuance of its Corporate Social Responsibility
Policy
Activities which may be included by companies in their Corporate Social Responsibility
Policies are:—

(i) Eradicating extreme hunger and poverty

(ii) Promotion of education
(iii) Promoting gender equality and empowering women
(iv) Reducing child mortality and improving maternal health
(v) Combating human immunodeficiency virus, acquired immune deficiency
syndrome, malaria and other diseases
(vi) Ensuring environmental sustainability
(vii) Employment enhancing vocational skills
(viii) Social business projects
(ix) Contribution to the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund or any other fund set
up by the Central Government or the State Governments for socio-economic
development and relief and funds for the welfare of the Scheduled Castes, the
Scheduled Tribes, other backward classes, minorities and women.
(x) Such other matters as may be prescribed.

COMPARISON OF CSR ACTIVITIES BETWEEN WIPRO AND INDIAN OIL

1) Wipro

ABOUT THE COMPANY

The third-largest company in India, Bangalore-based Wipro Limited is an ever-growing

and ever-diversifying global company that manufactures and sells products and services
ranging from cooking oil and soaps to healthcare instruments and information
technology (IT) consulting. Although Wipro's chairman and managing director Azim
Hasham Premji is committed to the company's diversified business model, its future
clearly lies in its continued successes in software and IT services, which make up nearly
half of the company's sales and has consistently outpaced the growth of Wipro's other
businesses. Wipro's world-class technologies division provides a range of high-tech
services such as global IT consulting, e-business integration, and legacy systems
maintenance to clients such as Cisco Systems, Thomas Cooke, and NEC. Wipro's IT
efforts are so reliable that in 1998 the company became the first in the world to have
been awarded the Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) coveted Level 5 Certification for
quality. After an impressive debut on the New York Stock Exchange in 2000, Premji,
who owns 75 percent of Wipro, became one of the top billionaires in the world.

CSR ACTIVITIES

At Wipro, our deliberate engagement with important social issues goes back a long
time. In 2001 we added our first organized community initiatives (Wipro Cares)
followed by a program on school education in 2002 (Wipro Applying Thought in
Schools). We started working methodically on Ecology & Environment in 2008. In 2014,
under the overarching umbrella of Education, we added a significant new initiative on
‘Children with Disability’. This program, at a conceptual level, is an extension of our long
running and successful program for 'Persons with Disability' within Wipro. This
compelling imperative of boundary-less thinking is a fundamental driving principle of all
our programs.

We run all our social programs on a strong foundation of ethical principles, good
governance and sound management. Our ‘Good Citizen’ manifesto articulates a set of
guiding principles that inform our thinking and actions. The manifesto covers a wide
range – a foundation of values as embedded in Spirit of Wipro, compliance with laws
and regulations, a robust framework of corporate governance, proactive and strategic
engagement with key challenges of the environment and society, serving our multiple
stakeholders and working with proximate communities, all in a manner that is
thoughtful, deliberative and systemic.

5
The salient highlights of our initiatives for 2014-15 are articulated below. You will also
find in this report a detailed summary of our sustainability initiatives under the
‘Business Responsibility Reporting’ section. It must be emphasized that our
sustainability and social programs are wide ranging and global in scope. For a fuller
understanding of these, you may want to refer to our comprehensive annual
sustainability reports based on GRI principles. These and various other details are
available at the websites, www.wipro.com and www.wipro,org

A. Education

Our work in education is based on the guiding principles that (a) It must contribute to
systemic or institutional improvement in education and / or (b) It should address the
needs of underserved and underprivileged sections and (c) In all cases, the work must
be deep and meaningful. Our programs span school and college education across India
as well as in the U.S. and address the themes of ‘Organizational Capability Building’,
‘Good Quality Educational Material’, ‘Advocacy’ and ‘Sustainability in Education’.

A.1 Wipro Applying Thought in Schools (WATIS) is a social initiative working on building
capacity in school education reform in India. Over the past 14 years, WATIS has worked
closely with 35 organizations working in improvement of school education. Our work,
spread over 67 educational projects, has involved over 2300 schools and 13,250
educators across 17 states reaching out to about 1 million students. A point to
emphasize here is that the indirect impact of our work is manifold the above numbers.
During 2014-15, six new partners were added in Assam, Koppal in Karnataka,
Hyderabad, Kerala and Mumbai. Their work include improving the quality of education
in government schools, strengthening social science and ecology education in schools
and supporting education of children from marginalized communities

A.2 Complementing the systemic engagements of WATIS is the work of our trust, Wipro
Cares that supports in a more direct way, access to educational opportunities for
underprivileged and marginalized children. For example, our partner of many years in
Pune, Door Steps Schools runs mobile units that provide schooling to children of
migrant labourers working in construction sites in a city. The ten projects run by Wipro
Cares in the cities of Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai
benefits more than 50000 children.

A.3 During the year, we started a significant new initiative for ‘Children with Disability’.
In the first year, our programs supported the educational and rehabilitative needs of
1350 underprivileged children with disability through five projects in the cities of
Bangalore, Pune, Jaipur and Hyderabad. Our focus is on early intervention and inclusive
education: the first element is crucial in the battle against disability as early actions help
prevent many subsequent complications; the second element underpins the principle

6
that children with disability must grow in a school environment that empowers them by
helping integrate with the mainstream.

A.4 We started a significant program in school education in 2013 in the U.S.A. While the
expenditure associated with this may not be allowable as CSR as per the Companies Act
2013, this is an integral part of our global CSR strategy and therefore something that
merits disclosure. The program is currently running in Chicago, New Jersey, New York
and Boston. We are partnering with University of Massachusetts, Boston and Michigan
State University. Mercy College in New York and Montclair State University in New
Jersey are also involved. The program works in close collaboration in over 20 school
districts wherein 250-350 teachers go through a 2-3 year fellowship with intense
support to develop their capacities to be better teachers and change leaders. The
district administrators are a part of the program. We intend to expand these programs
to other cities in future. The current commitment of Wipro to these programs is about
7.8 million USD over a period of 5 years. This is a large and substantial commitment to
improving science and math in school education, one of the largest such commitments
made by a non US company.

A.5 Earthian is a program that brings together two of our key concerns: Education and
Sustainability. It comprises an annual cycle where schools and colleges across the
country participate in an enriching learning program; selected institutions then become
part of a three year Continuing Engagement Program. In 2014-15, the program had an
outreach to 9000 institutions. 550 schools and colleges submitted entries with 23
selected winners. The continuing engagement comprised of college internships, a
national level workshop for the leading Business Schools of the country, sustainability
workshops in 14 schools for 250 teachers and Theater-in-Education labs in two schools.

A.6 Developing workplace relevant engineering and technology skills that is also up-to-
date and relevant is critical for a country like India where the IT Services industry
contributes to nearly 8% of the GDP. Our efforts in this direction go back several years
and address two important dimensions: (a) Skills development for students that is
based on a comprehensive framework of post-graduate level education and (b) Capacity
building among the faculty of engineering colleges.

The Wipro Academy of Software Excellence (WASE) program that helps Science
graduates to study for a Master’s degree in Software Engineering (M.Tech). Run in
partnership with the Birla Institute of Technology & Science (BITS), Pilani, India, this
unique program blends rigorous academic exposure with practical professional learning
at the workplace, we run a similar program called WISTA in collaboration with Vellore
Institute of Technology (VIT) for science graduates without a mathematics background.
Since its inception in 1995, Wipro has supported and enabled nearly 50000 students to
graduate from the WASE and WISTA programs with an MS degree in Software

7
Engineering. During 2014-15, the total number of new entrants into the two programs
was 1710 while the aggregate strength across four years was 12850.

Mission10X started in 2007 has the goal of improving education in India’s engineering
colleges. Over the last six years Mission10X has reached out to over 26,313 faculty
members across 1300+ engineering colleges in 27 states. The work involves faculty
capacity development, and curricular improvement. The initiative has also catalysed a
group of 20 organizations working on the same space. It has also created a substantial
on-line resource base which is expanding

B. Primary Health Care and Communities

B.1 Along with education, access to primary health care is a key determinant of an
individual’s future trajectory in life, including the ability to engage in productive
livelihoods and responsible citizenship, In India, nearly 600 million people do not have
access to basic health care which is affordable and of good quality. At Wipro, our
approach in this regard is to focus on the health needs of our proximate communities
around the major centres of our operations. We run these programs through Wipro
Cares, our public trust.

Wipro Cares works with partners who oversee the delivery of good quality primary
health care services to underserved communities covering more than 75000 people in
53 villages across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh & Uttarakhand. We follow
an integrated approach that along with the delivery of regular health services, lays
emphasis on building the capacity of the communities in developing a higher degree of
self-reliance to handle their own primary health care needs.

B.2 Disadvantaged communities face several challenges and one that visits them at
regular frequency in our country is natural disasters like earthquakes, floods and
cyclonic storms. The already fragile basis of their livelihoods gets further disrupted in
the wake of a natural disaster. Since 2002, we have responded in both monetary terms
and in-kind to several natural calamities wherein Wipro’s employees have also risen to
the occasion and played a sterling role. By design, we focus on the more difficult
challenge of long term rehabilitation of the affected communities.

During 2014, we initiated two disaster rehabilitation projects in Uttarakhand and

Odisha in response to the floods and cyclone events in 2013. In line with our approach,
both these projects focus on long term rehabilitation and strengthening of the affected
communities. In Uttarakhand, in collaboration with very credible local partners with a
long track record, multiple activities on strengthening local livelihoods were initiated.
20 village level farmer’s group have been formed with the objective of training them on
alternate methods of farming.8964 fruit saplings have been planted in farms belonging

8
to 293 farmers while 236 beneficiaries have been identified for vegetable plantation.
Our work in Odisha touched the lives of 250 farmers and their families who were
provided fishing nets and awareness training around them, Village level Disaster
Committees were set up in 15 villages.

C. Ecology & Environment

Ecological sustainability is one of the defining challenges facing humanity in the 21st
century. How we manage the issues of climate change, water scarcity, biodiversity loss
and pollution will determine the trajectory of our development. Wipro’s engagement
with these issues goes back several years and is based on the dual approach of (a)
continually improving the energy, water, waste and biodiversity footprint of our
business operations and (b) engaging on community-level actions and advocacy on
these issues. We present below some interesting illustrations of our work

C.1 We initiated the “Participative Community Water Program” in the Sarjapur area in
Bangalore which is completely dependent on groundwater. The initiative seeks to
involve proximate communities in a unique citizen-led governance model of
groundwater. The year saw the successful completion of the first phase of developing a
detailed groundwater aquifer map for a 33 sq km area around our Sarjapur campus. The
aquifer map along with a citizen portal will help inform collective decision making on
groundwater management in a more scientific manner

C.2 Our urban biodiversity program addresses the twin goals of creating biodiversity in
our urban campuses while also using it as a platform for wider education and advocacy,
our first project of a unique Butterfly Park in the Electronic City campus in Bangalore
was initiated two years back and completed in early 2014. In 2014-15 we progressed as
per plan on the next phase of an innovatively conceived wetland biodiversity zone that
will use recycled water. In our Pune campus, the first phase has been completed with a
tripling of the number of native species from 59 to 167. Both these projects will serve a
larger purpose of education on biodiversity and the plan going forward is to link it with
our earthian program for schools on sustainability education.

C.3 Rapid development of renewable energy (RE) solutions is a crucial element in

combating climate change. India has put together a clear road map of adding RE
capacity over the next 10 years. Business can play an important role in both, the
production ecosystem and through conscious choices in purchasing RE in its own
operations. At Wipro, renewable energy accounts for more than 20% of the electricity
footprint and in 2014-15, we procured 66 Million units of RE translating into 52000
metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions avoided.

9
 C.4 Effective and efficient management of urban solid waste is a pressing problem in all
our cities. While the use of right technology, good governance and the active
participation of civil society are important determinants of success, the work of the
informal sector is often unrecognized. We initiated a project in Bangalore that will
provide skills upgrading to 260 workers in the informal sector of waste along with
access to better nutrition, safety gear and health insurance.

C.5 We have been supporting a program in social forestry in rural Tamil Nadu near
Chennai for the past four years. The program works towards the twin goals of
afforestation and improved livelihood options. More than 80 farmers are the
beneficiaries of the income that will accrue from the produce of more than a hundred
thousand trees that have been planted.

D. The power of Engaged Employees

Employees are integral to many of our social programs. The Wipro Cares trust is built on
a model of employee contribution that is matched by Wipro. Nearly one in three
employees or more than 48,000 Wiproites are contributors to Wipro Cares making this
possibly the largest such initiative in India and one of the largest in the world. During
2014-15, nearly 1600 employees also engaged with more than 3600 hours of volunteer
work, Employees have also keen participants in other significant initiatives including
those on campus biodiversity and improving public transportation services.

In conclusion, we recognize that this is a journey where one learns all the time. While
on the matter of ethics and values, we will hold ourselves up to the highest standards,
on matters of governance and management of our CSR programs, we recognize that
there could be many opportunities for improvement. We will continually self-reflect,
act, and review all the time.

2014-15 along with the geographies. The list of partners with who we collaborate is
available right below the table
7. In the column 'Cumulative expenditure till reporting period', we have chosen to take
2014-15 as the base year. It is however not to be interpreted that this is the first year of
our CSR programs. Many of our programs go back more than 10 years and some more
than 15 years. Given the practical challenges in reporting the cumulative expenditure
from inception, we have chosen to start with the current year as the base year.
8. All our programs are executed and implemented through our partners. The figures
under the last column therefore are entirely through our partners.

M. IndianOil Muskaan:
Every year, about 35,000 babies are born with cleft lips or palates and there are over 10
lakh cases of untreated clefts in India. Most of the parents either do not know that a
cleft can be fully corrected at the early stage itself or are too poor to afford the costs of
surgery. In addition to being a medico-economic issue, a cleft is often associated with a
social stigma, especially for girls, who find it very tough to lead a normal life with facial
deformities. IndianOil undertook an initiative to bring back smiles on the face of people
affected with cleft lips in the North East.

Conclusion:

Although most Indian companies even after the CSR law leave a lot to be desired in terms of
both planning of CSR programs (Impact , sustainability etc.) and the intent but the
companies mentioned above namely “Wipro” and “Indian Oil Corporation” have done
pretty well in terms of CSR activities.
While Indian Oil’s CSR activities consisted mostly on health, education and re-skilling of
individuals Wipro has a more diverse expenditure on the same. The works of Wipro not only
include health, education and re-skilling but also sustainability, sports, development of
culture which gives it an added advantage compared to Indian Oil. Moreover Wipro has a
total expenditure of Rs.186 crores for fiscal year 2015-16 as compared to Rs.156 crore for
Indian Oil for the same fiscal year.

Hence, as per my view the private sector company (here Wipro) beats the public sector
company (here Indian Oil Corporation) by a slight margin.
