Eka Software Solutions, a cloud-based enterprise solutions provider, 
announced today the launch of the Eka Sustainability and Environmental, Social 
and Governance (ESG) reporting solution driven by its Cloud Platform to help 
enterprises comply with operational and compliance best practices. 

    This solution was introduced as part of Eka's long-term vision to unify 
critical business processes from procurement to payments, to provide 
enterprises an in-depth view of their business for greater agility and faster 
decision making.

    Enterprises are aware that their achievements are no longer measured solely 
by their profit and loss statements but also by their relationships with the 
environment, community, and economy. Chief sustainability officers are looking 
for ways to capture the essence of their sustainability initiatives by 
measuring their overall impact that includes profitability, shareholder values, 
social, human and environmental capital. 

In recognizing the growing need to create a technology solution to help firms 
meet the ESG responsibilities and reporting unique to their businesses, Eka was 
able to tap into its own highly informed client base who sit at the leading 
edge of the global sustainability effort, as well as leading requirements of 
various industries, frameworks, and reporting standards. 

   The announcement comes on the heels of significant customer adoption of 
Eka's Sustainability and ESG reporting solution. Commenting on the launch, 
Gautam Khurana, Director Finance, Precious Shipping Public Company Limited 
said, "Integrity and sustainability are at the core of our company ethos. We 
are keen to make a difference with our sustainability practices and ensure that 
our stakeholders are empowered with the right information to make important 
decisions. Leveraging Eka's cloud-driven Sustainability solution will help us 
automate key processes related to tracking, measuring, and reporting ESG data 
with a wide selection of reporting standards and frameworks to address the 
diverse interests of our many stakeholders." 

   Shuchi Nijhawan, Eka's ESG and Sustainability Head said, "ESG regulations, 
requirements and guidelines are helping guide companies on the path to becoming 
better corporates. The Eka Sustainability and ESG Reporting Solution will 
enable companies to more closely monitor and report on their performance 
relative to those metrics. We are proud to be on this journey with our clients 
and look forward to making further enhancements to our platform as the industry 
evolves." 

    The Eka Sustainability and ESG reporting solution is highly configurable 
and enables companies across varied sectors to track, measure and report 
against relevant industry standards, regulations, and guidelines. The 
cloud-driven solution can be used as a stand-alone product or can be seamlessly 
integrated into the existing tech-infrastructure that powers other critical 
business functions.  

    The Eka Sustainability and ESG reporting solution monitors against key 
metrics including: 

    - Environmental sustainability – ethical sourcing and carbon emissions can 
be visualized in prebuilt sustainability reports to monitor the strategic use 
of energy and resources. 
    - Corporate and social responsibility – to ensure sustainable supplier 
relationships and regulatory compliance. 
    - Workplace health and safety – to provide a clear understanding of each 
workforce, laying the foundations for ethical recruitment and worker engagement.
   Applications include: 

   - Tools to facilitate training programs, incident captures, legal 
proceedings and course correction measures. 
   - Compliance tools for accurate corporate reporting and measurement against 
requirements such as GRI, UN SDG, CGP and other commonly used standards. 
   - Custom dashboards based to measure sustainability. 
   - Collaboration tools to digitally connect the entire business network with 
one common experience, one security model and one integrated source of data.

    According to Manav Garg, founder and CEO of Eka, "As the world shifts 
towards a sustainable future, we are all recognizing the pressing need to embed 
ESG and Sustainability discipline into our business operations. With the launch 
of Eka Sustainability and ESG reporting solution we are empowering enterprises 
with their sustainability disclosures and helping them address opportunities
