Wipro announced today that it has been enlisted by JFK International Air Terminal (JFKIAT), the operator of Terminal 4 at John F. Kennedy International Airport, to support its sustainability goals.

JFKIAT commissioned Wipro Consulting to evaluate the greenhouse gas emissions of Terminal 4, come up with a carbon reduction roadmap, and draft for them the 2023 sustainability report in line with JFKIAT’s sustainability targets, according to a stock exchange filing.

This collaboration aims to cut Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions at the terminal by 50% by 2030, contributing to JFKIAT’s goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.

The company conducted a detailed greenhouse gas emissions inventory for JFKIAT, measuring Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions according to industry standards like Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA), including emissions from stationary combustion, fugitive emissions, and mobile combustion.

They developed a carbon reduction roadmap with investment priorities in energy efficiency and renewable energy, helping JFKIAT target a 50% reduction in emissions by 2030.

Implementing Wipro’s recommendations has already led to a 16% reduction in baseline emissions by the end of 2023, mainly due to a new renewable energy sourcing initiative. Their roadmap guides JFKIAT towards its 50% emissions reduction target by 2030 and aims for a 100% reduction by 2050.

The company’s Impact team created JFKIAT’s 2023 sustainability report, and Designit, Wipro’s innovation company, designed JFKIAT’s annual report.

Susan Kenniston of Wipro highlighted the partnership’s role in developing airport decarbonisation strategies and ACA digitised report accelerators.

Roel Huinink, CEO of JFKIAT, expressed pride in leading sustainability efforts in aviation and thanked Wipro for their strategic measures that will help JFKIAT further reduce emissions.
