BoardPAC, the Sri Lanka-founded global leader in virtual board meeting automation, has become carbon neutral, achieving a key milestone in its Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) journey.
The operations of the award-winning multinational with a presence in more than 40 countries were audited to the specifications of the ISO 14064 – 1:2018 standard and certified carbon neutral in respect of 2021 by the Sri Lanka Climate Fund (SLCF), which functions under the Ministry of Environment, the company said in a media release.
A series of enterprise-wide initiatives undertaken by BoardPAC to minimise its carbon footprint included conducting a high percentage of meetings and events online, eco-friendly recycling of workplace waste, storage of files for client signups ranging from legal to administrative as soft copies to reduce paper consumption, and building awareness with team members, clients and other stakeholders. BoardPAC’s verified net Greenhouse Gas emissions were thereafter offset against an environment-friendly project.
Commenting on this latest milestone, BoardPAC Chairman Vijendran Watson said: “I am pleased that the management has undertaken this initiative and become the first to be carbon neutral in the board meeting automation space. Our users who are directors of top corporates will I am sure, be happy to be using a product that has a carbon neutral certification.”
BoardPAC co-founder and CEO Ms Lakmini Wijesundera noted: “Our product is used by the boards of directors of most of the major global banks and corporations. We enable boards to have a paperless and secure method of conducting meetings and maintaining records. Currently boards are focused on ESG and making their corporations sustainable. As a facilitator in that process, we felt it was important to be carbon neutral ourselves.”
