1. Executive Summary In Financial Year 2014-2015, Wipro employees flew 498,327 flights, totalling 1,275.58 million passenger kilometres and, based on this cBalance study, emitted approximately 170.22 thousand tonnes of CO2e.

If Wipro were to switch to the Best-In-Class Airline, as derived in this study, the company is poised to save 41% (48.54 thousand tonnes of CO2e), 37% (7.47 thousand tonnes of CO2e), and 20% (3.92 thousand tonnes of CO2e) in International, Domestic–USA, and Domestic–India, respectively; International travel is defined here as any travel that occurs from country-to-country, not within a country.

Further, if Wipro were to switch Multi-Stop flights to Non-Stop flights, the company is poised to save 25% and 50% in International and Domestic–USA travel, respectively; Domestic–India travel is not modeled here as non-stop flights to major Indian cities are very frequent.

To minimize Wipro’s Business Air Travel Emissions, we recommend the Wipro travel team to first search for non-stop flights, and then select airlines based on the prioritized emission-factor list provided in section 7.

2. Introduction This project report has been prepared by cBalance Solutions Private Limited (cBalance Solutions) for Wipro Limited (Wipro). Wipro has a global presence to serve their clients in the field of Information Technology, Consulting and Business Process services. Wipro reported annual gross revenue of $7.5 billion1 for the financial year ended March 2015.

Wipro has initiated many efforts to reduce their ecological impacts and their achievements have been recognized globally. Channel NewsAsia, Sustainalytics and CSR Asia, have ranked Wipro 1st among the 100 most sustainable corporations in Asia in the 2015 Channel NewsAsia Sustainability Ranking.2

Wipro has minimized their ecological footprint in 2014-15 by following the best practices:

Use of renewable energy – used 65 million kWh from renewable sources, accounts 22% of total energy use3

Recycling and reuse of wastewater – 34% water recycled and reused4 Recycling and reuse of waste – 90% of total waste from India recycled or reused5

Wipro’s clients have diversified geographical presence globally. Wipro chose air travel as fast and reliable mode of transport with no comparable alternatives for long distance travel to serve their clients. Wipro has a step-up on the path of sustainability and

expressed interest to know their carbon footprint of business travel from air transport for the financial year 2014-15 and looking forward to formalize and implement the strategies to minimize the emissions from air travel. In the FY 2013-14, Wipro had reported 103 thousand tonnes CO2e GHG emissions from Business Travel in the category of Scope 3 emissions, which was 13% of the total GHG emissions reported under Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions.6

This report seeks to quantify GHG emissions from Wipro’s business air travel based on a comprehensive GHG inventory assessment of and provide a list of recommendations to minimize the business air travel GHG emissions of Wipro. This will help Wipro to understand the increment in business air travel GHG emissions in FY 2014-15 with respect to the growth of Wipro’ business and also a formalization of strategies to integrate key best practices to minimize their business air travel emissions.

3. Project Objective Wipro has provided the business air travel data of FY April 2014- March 2015. Based on the business air travel data received from Wipro, the overarching goals of the project were:

Estimate Carbon Emission Factors for all domestic & international air carriers which have been used by Wipro for business air travel during FY 2014-15.

Estimate GHG inventory of Wipro’s business air travel in accordance with GHG protocol’s Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standards (referred to as the Corporate standards)7

Provide a list of the rankings of domestic and international air carriers based on their GHG emission factors

Provide the Best-In-Class (GHG emission factor-wise) air carrier of the sectors for Wipro personnel flown in FY 2014-15

Modelling minimization options such as: I. Choosing the most carbon efficient airlines, and

II. Reducing the number of stops on a specific segment

4. Project Scope The scope of the project was entire domestic and international business travel of Wipro, covered by air transport mode, during the global operation of FY 2014-15.

5.4 Scenario Modelling

5.4.1 Baseline Vs “Best-In-Class” Air Carrier

Baseline vs Best-In-Class Scenario –

Baseline – All flights treated as individual flights and their GHG emission is considered for baseline scenario

- The goal of this scenario is to identify the best Airline based on their emissions for a given sector;

- This is done through extracting all the unique flights for a given airline and assessing alternative airlines for that particular sector;

- The Airline that achieves the lowest emission for a given sector is chosen and termed “Best-In-Class”;

- After that, the whole data is assessed and then if the Airline flown is different from “Best-In-Class” airline for that particular sector, then

the “Best-In-Class” airline is recommended for that sector.

5.4.2 Baseline (One/Multiple-Stop) vs Non Stop Sector

Baseline – One/ Multi-Stop flights with corresponding Distance travelled and GHG Emissions (Flights whose recommendation is available and gives savings in positive are only counted)

Non Stop Sector – Flights with no intermediate stops. Also known as a ‘Direct flight’

The goal of the Scenario is to avoid One/Multi-Stop flights and commence a non-stop flight wherever applicable via the airline which has lowest emission for that sector.

- This is done by Airline wise extracting all the unique flights and assessing different airlines flying for that particular sector.

- Then, Airline which delivers lowest emission for the given sector is chosen and termed “Best-In-Class”

After that, Total Flight distance and total emissions is calculated by adding flight distances and their emissions for all flight legs of that sector.

Scenario is modelled which depicts flight flying from Source destination to end destination while skipping all intermediate legs. (Assumptions are made wherever necessary)

Based on the scenario modelled, the flight sector combination is tabulated with the extracted list to verify whether any such combination already exists in the data extracted.

If it does, the flight distance for that sector is extracted from the list and corresponding emission are calculated with respect to best efficient airlines in that sector. These emissions are subtracted from total emissions to find out total savings

7. Scope Definition

7.1 Corporate GHG Inventory

This GHG Protocol’s Corporate Standard provides standards and guidance for companies and other types of organizations preparing a GHG emissions inventory. It covers the accounting and reporting of the six greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol-carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). While this standard has been followed almost entirely for this project, the aspect of ‘materiality threshold’ as defined by the concept of ‘key categories’ has been incorporated from the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. This is discussed as part of the ‘Completeness’ attributes of the GHG Inventory and described later in the report.

The standard requires adherence to the key principles of Relevance, Completeness, Consistency, Transparency, and Accuracy. These principles and measures taken to adhere to them in the execution of this project are discussed below.

RELEVANCE: It must be ensured that the GHG inventory appropriately reflects the GHG emissions of the company and serves the decision-making needs of users – both internal and external to the company. Relevance can be ensured by appropriate and thoughtful selection of Operational and Organizational (described later). The selection of an appropriate inventory boundary that reflects the substance and economic reality of the company’s business activities, processes and relationships, not merely its legal form, is pivotal to this process and has been addressed in compiling the GHG inventory of business air travel for the Wipro Project.

COMPLETENESS: The GHG inventory must account for and report on all GHG emission sources (i.e. Scopes) and activities (i.e. within each Scope) within the chosen inventory boundary and any specific exclusions must by disclosed and justified. Exclusions of activities from the Inventorying process may be the outcome of limiting constraints such as a lack of primary data, high uncertainty level of available secondary data, or the cost of gathering data. Theoretically a materiality threshold (a minimum emissions accounting threshold), stating that a source not exceeding a certain size can be omitted from the inventory, can be implemented to address unquantifiable emission sources. However, the practical implementation of such a threshold is not compatible with the completeness principle of the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. Instead, companies must transparently document and justify cases where emissions have not been estimated, or estimated at an insufficient level of quality.

For the Wipro Business Air Travel Corporate GHG Inventory project, the concept of ‘key categories’ has been adopted from the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories for implementability reasons. ‘Key categories’ are identified using a pre-determined cumulative emissions threshold. ‘Key categories’ are those that, when summed together in descending order of magnitude, add up to 95 percent of the total level. The pre-determined threshold has been determined based on an evaluation of several inventories, and is aimed at establishing a general level where 90% of inventory uncertainty will be covered by key categories.

The Operational Boundary for the Business Air Travel Project’s Corporate Inventory component is defined later with relevant rationale related to the inclusion of activities presented alongside. Moreover, any exclusions stemming from data constraints or other systemic reasons are listed and discussed in the Appendix.

Page 72: Business Air Travel GHG Inventory & Minimization Modelling ...cbalance.in/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/CB_GHG-Emission_Wipro... · Business Air Travel GHG Inventory & Minimization Modelling

66

CONSISTENCY: The process of inventorying must use consistent methodologies across time boundaries to allow for meaningful comparisons of emissions over time. To enable this, a GHG inventory report must transparently document any changes to the data, inventory boundary, methods, or any other relevant factors in the time series. Thus, the inventorying process might require the base year emissions to be recalculated as companies undergo significant structural changes such as acquisitions, divestments, and mergers. Since the Corporate Footprint produced as an outcome of this exercise will serve as the Baseline Year GHG Inventory for the Wipro’s business air travel, the need to recalculate any previous year emissions is moot. However, future inventories will need to address any recalculation efforts explicitly.

TRANSPARENCY: All relevant issues must have addressed by the Inventory process in a factual and coherent manner, based on a clear audit trail. The reporting activity must disclose any relevant assumptions and make appropriate references to the accounting and calculation methodologies and data sources used. The standard requires information to be recorded, compiled, and analyzed in a way that enables internal reviewers and external verifiers to attest to its credibility and enable a third party to derive the same results if provided with the same source data. The project report addresses transparency related requirements by providing a comprehensive listing of all assumptions, simplifications, emission factor sources, and technical references in Appendix. along with relevant equations and mathematical and scientific relationships used data processing and analysis required for calculating GHG emissions.

ACCURACY: The Corporate Standard requires that the quantification of GHG emissions is systematically neither over nor under actual emissions, and that uncertainties are reduced as far as possible. The process must be designed to achieve sufficient accuracy to ensure integrity of the reported information and enable users to determine its reliability with reasonable assurance. This project effort incorporated extensive efforts to ensure accuracy of the activity data obtained, collated and transmitted by the reporting entity through:

I. administering rigorously data collection from reporting entity, II. providing guidance to the reporting entity with respect to best-practices to be

followed for ensuring high data quality III. establishing the preferred units for data collection and suggesting acceptable

surrogate units for activity data collection if data was not available in the ideally preferred form

IV. establishing a priority list of emission source activities for which primary data were imperative and activities for which secondary data would be acceptable

The GHG Inventory process’s accuracy is also augmented by use of well documented Tier 2 and Tier 3 GHG Emission Factors wherever possible and use of Tier 1 default emission factors as the least preferred option5. The emission factors used and their sources are presented in Appendix.

The Corporate GHG Inventory accounts for three major Greenhouse Gases: Carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), Nitrous oxide (N2O). Emissions of these gases have been accounted for activities classified as part of Scope 1, Scope 2, and relevant significant Scope 3 emission sources. In this project all the emissions related to business air travel activities and relevant upstream activities have been considered as Scope 3 emission as per GHG protocol. Emission sources leading to generation of the other 3 Kyoto Protocol Gasses, namely HFCs, PFCs, and SF6, were not considered as ‘key categories’ (or below

the materiality threshold as defined earlier as part of the ‘Completeness’ attributes of the project) by the project’s technical advisory team.

Implementation of the Corporate Standard for GHG Inventorying requires the definition of an Organizational and Operational Boundary.

7.1.1 Organizational Boundary Definition

For corporate reporting, two distinct approaches can be used to consolidate GHG emissions: the equity share and the control approaches.

The criteria for setting the Organizational Boundary for this Inventory is the Operational Control. The Standard clarifies that a company has operational control over an operation if the former or one of its subsidiaries has the full authority to introduce and implement its operating policies at the operation. According to this interpretation of operational control and based on discussions with the Reporting Entity’s Management personnel, activities at the aircraft manufacturing site and at the airport handled by aircraft manufacturers, airport authorities and air carriers are not within the operational control of the Reporting Entity and hence 100% of the emissions from all these activities are reported in this Inventory considered as Scope 3 emissions which significant in nature. As an outcome of this approach selection, the operation and emissions-generating activities of the following Stakeholders / Operational Entities were considered as part of the GHG Inventory Boundary.

0 % for Operational Control

Equity share approach: Under the equity share approach, a company accounts for GHG emissions from operations according to its share of equity in the operation. The equity share reflects economic interest, which is the extent of rights a company has to the risks and rewards flowing from an operation.

Control approach: Under the control approach, a company accounts for 100 percent of the GHG emissions from operations over which it has control. It does not account for GHG emissions from operations in which it owns an interest but has no control. Control can be defined in either financial or operational terms. When using the control approach to consolidate GHG emissions, companies shall choose between either the operational control or financial control criteria.

7.1.2 Operational Boundary Definition

Subsequent to organizational boundary definition in terms of the operations that it owns or controls, The Corporate Standard requires specifying of operational boundaries which entails identifying emissions associated with its operations, categorizing them as direct and indirect emissions, and choosing the scope of accounting and reporting for indirect emissions.

Direct GHG emissions are emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by the company.

Indirect GHG emissions are emissions that are a consequence of the activities of the company but occur at

sources owned or controlled by another company.

Furthermore, to improve transparency, and provide utility for different types of organizations three “scopes”

(scope 1, scope 2, & scope 3) are defined for GHG accounting & reporting

Scope 1: These are direct GHG emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by the company. For

example, emissions from combustion in owned or controlled facilities and vehicles.

Scope 2: These are indirect GHG emissions occurring as a consequence of GHG emissions from the

generation of purchased electricity by the company.

Scope 3: These comprise other indirect emissions except those accounted for as Scope 2 emissions. They

are a consequence of the activities of the company, but occur from sources not owned or controlled by the

company and are an optional reporting category. Examples include embodied carbon emissions from

manufacturing of materials used by a company, third party deliveries, business travel activities and use of

sold products and services.

7.1.2.1 Product (Goods or Services) GHG Inventory Framework

The GHG Protocol provides requirements and guidance for companies and other organizations to quantify and publicly report an inventory of GHG emissions and removals associated with a specific product. The primary goal of this standard is to provide a general framework for companies to make informed choices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the products (goods or services) they design, manufacture, sell, purchase, or use.

The primary goal of compiling GHG Inventory of business air travel as part of this project, to compliment the Corporate GHG Inventory, is to target future efforts at GHG mitigation along the entire Corporate Value Chain.

In this project, the Product is equivalent to the ‘Air Travel Services of Air Carriers’ which have been used by Wipro. The Product Standard requires that companies shall account for carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) emissions to, and removals from, the atmosphere. However, as explained in the prior sections related to the Corporate Inventory Boundary, only carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) are accounted for in this GHG Inventory study of business air travel.

Defining the product, the unit of analysis, and reference flow are imperative aspects of this GHG inventory process. The unit of analysis is defined as the performance characteristics and services delivered by the product being studied. The reference flow is the amount of product (air travel services) on which the results of the study are based. The Standard requires that for all final products, companies shall define the unit of analysis as a functional unit. For this project, since the product is a purchased service (i.e. air travel services provided by air carriers), the measured unit of reference flow is Pax-km of air travel and the unit of analysis is Metric Tonne of CO2e.

In this project the product is a purchased service, all the emissions are accounted as Scope 3 emissions for Wipro. The standard requires inclusion of all attributable processes (i.e. Scope 1 & Scope 2 emission sources accounted for air carrier) within the boundary of the product GHG inventory. As presented in the Table 36 of Operational Boundary Definition, all relevant Scope 3 emission activities of the Reporting Entity are included in the activity boundary. The Standard requires companies to disclose and justify any exclusions of attributable processes in the inventory report. Since land-use change impacts are not a vital part of the air travel service industry’s activities, this has not been addressed in the project.

As required by the Standard, Companies are required to report the time period of the inventory which for this project is FY 2014-15.

identified by the GHG Corporate Inventory and GHG Emission Accounting and Reporting Standard. For Domestic Air Travel:

Short-haul flights between city pairs Long-haul flights between city pairs Airport codes Domestic air carrier codes

For International Air Travel:

Short-haul flights between city pairs Long-haul flights between city pairs Airport codes International Air carrier codes

The short-haul, medium-haul and long-haul distance flights in the category of domestic and international air travel have been defined as: Domestic Air Travel: Domestic Short-haul Flight – Flight distance upto 500 kilometres17 Domestic Long-haul Flight – Flight distance above 500 kilometres18 International Air Travel: International Short-haul Flight – Flight distance up to 2,000 kilometres19 International Medium-haul Flight – Flight distance above 2,000 kilometres and upto 5,000 kms20 International Long-haul Flight – Flight distance above 5,000 kilometres21

8.2 Activity Data Quality Assessment and Processing

8.2.1 Activity Data Scrutinization

Primary activity data related to emission sources were digitized by Wipro. cBalance team scrutinized the activity data and found the following types of errors/invalid entries while processing:

Airline codes were not defined (entry cells were blank) Airline codes were defined by wrong codes Trip type was not defined – Return/One-way (entry cells were blank) Airport/city codes were of two letters Origin and Destination airport/city codes were same Destination airport/city codes were not defined The sector was defined as country/region name – India, US, Europe

The sector for flights were not defined (entry cells were blank) Entries for – visa processing fee, fee air extended service, fee for emergency

service, Call fee out of hours, visa handling fee, hotel reservation etc. Distance between city pairs were not calculated Flights between the cities with distance of less than 100 pass-kms

8.2.2 Raw Data Rectification

Defined the Trip type cells based on the defined sector of the entries Replaced invalid airport/city codes with valid codes Calculated distance between city pairs which were not found Deleted, invalid entries/errors.

8.3 Framework Development and Allocation

cBalance team developed the framework to allocate the activity data according to data needed as per GHG Corporate Inventory and GHG Emission Accounting and Reporting Standard. Further, the final activity data have been pursued for the calculation of GHG emissions.

8.3.1 Assumptions

Only one passenger has travelled for every booking entries The same airline code is valid for 1-stop and multiple stop flights defined sector All the flight bookings have been made under economy class. For the return trip entries, the last middle code in the defined sector would be

the destination of first trip and origin of the second (return) trip

8.4 Emission Factor Development

8.4.1 Domestic and International Air Carrier – Operation Phase - Emisson Factor

Step 1: Determine LTO and Cruise-mode fuel emissions of relevant aircraft models comprising 184 international and domestic air carriers serving across the world

Note: The primary assumption governing this emission factor methodology was that the average emissions for a given airline is represented by a simple average of the emission factor of aircraft models comprising the airlines fleet. The relative frequency of operation or share of annual passenger-kms performed by a given aircraft model in an airline’s fleet was not taken into consideration. Incorporating this to arrive at a weighted-avgerage would be a more rigorous approach and could be assessed from a detailed statistical analysis airline’s operational data. Unavailability of aircraft-model wise operation statistics related to domestic airline operations prevent this rigorous analysis at this stage.

LTO and Cruise Mode Emissions (Total) for all

aircraft models

Convert to best-case per-passenger emission factors for

finite distances for every aircraft model

(using max PAX Capacity and Load-Factor of 1)

Repeat for additional finite distances per model, and replicate for each aircraft

model

Calculate weighting factor based on % of aircraft model count vs. total fleet count of

airline

Calculate per-passenger emissions for finite distance for each airline as sum of weighted LTO & Cruise-

mode emissions

(account for weighted-avg. airline passenger capacity, airline-wide

passenger load factor, and PAX to Freight Ratio)

Repeat for adiditonal finited distances for each domestic

airline
