PR93119
NEW YORK, November 17, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ -
Eka Software Solutions, a cloud-based enterprise solutions provider,
announced today that it has joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC)
[https://www.unglobalcompact.org/] as an official signatory. Composed of more
than 13,000 corporate participants and with stakeholders from over 170
countries, the UNGC is the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative.
As a signatory, Eka will incorporate the principles of the UNGC into its
business practices, with the objective of further accelerating and promoting
sustainability for all pertinent stakeholders, including employees, customers,
partners and vendors.
In an era of increased awareness surrounding environmental, social and
governance (ESG) efforts, the UNGC has outlined several key objectives as it
aims to provide both a universal language for corporate responsibility and a
framework to guide businesses on ESG strategy regardless of size, complexity or
location. As a global initiative, the UNGC's main goals are to "mainstream the
10 principles [https://www.unglobalcompact.org/what-is-gc/mission/principles]
in business activities around the world" and to "catalyze actions in support of
broader UN goals, such as the Millennium Development Goals
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Development_Goals] (MDGs) and
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_Development_Goals]."
Eka's UNGC certification comes on the heels of several
sustainability-driven initiatives, most notably the recent launch of its
cloud-driven ESG reporting solution
[https://eka1.com/news/cloud-based-solutions-provider-eka-unveils-sustainability
-and-esg-reporting-solution/] to help enterprises comply with operational and
compliance best practices. To ensure the long-term success of this innovative
solution, Eka has onboarded a new team of sustainability subject matter experts
with experience in developing sustainable solutions for firms in the
manufacturing, retail, energy and banking spaces. Eka also recently opened an
office in Geneva, expanding its European presence and responding to the growing
focus on sustainability regulation in the European Union and beyond.
Shuchi Nijhawan, Chief Sustainability Officer, Eka Software Solutions
commented, "At Eka, we understand that sustainability is an inevitable area of
growth across all industries, and a vital component to solving some of the most
critical challenges the world has ever seen. As an official signatory, we will
apply the UNGC's principle-based framework to our long-term vision of
propelling holistic business transformations through our multi-faceted,
powerful cloud platform."
As a participant in the UNGC, Eka will have access to partnerships with a
wide range of United Nations stakeholders from over 160 countries, providing
opportunities to share perspectives on emerging solutions and best practices.
As a public advocate for the UNGC, Eka will further amplify the goals of the
initiative implementing the UNGC's 10 principles in its overall business
strategy, culture and day-to-day operations.
