- Running on Microsoft Azure, the suite of solutions will help enterprises rise 
to the challenge of the "big pledge era" and achieve net-zero goals


    Eka Software Solutions, a global leader in providing enterprise cloud 
solutions for the CFO's office, today announced that it is collaborating with 
Microsoft to offer a robust suite of solutions, enabling businesses to reduce 
their impact on climate change and help them spark a positive change through 
their sustainability initiatives.  

    The joint go-to-market offerings will provide sophisticated, cloud-driven 
sustainability solutions for enterprises to track, measure and gain meaningful 
insights across their carbon usage, supplier relationships, governance, 
workforce management, and circular economy.  

    The creation of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) at 
the recent COP26 conference is a major step to globally align ESG reporting. 
Conscious of the expectation to provide tangible and credible evidence of their 
sustainability status, organisations across the world are setting targets to 
reduce their carbon footprint and reach net-zero emissions.

    The increased pressure is leading chief sustainability and financial 
officers to look for ways to standardize relevant ESG data collection and 
reporting with robust solutions that will help them rise to the "big pledge" 
and measure performance against their sustainability goals. 

    Running on Microsoft Azure, Eka's comprehensive suite of solutions will 
enable businesses to gain complete and real-time visibility to track carbon 
emissions. Benefitting from the hybrid and trusted cloud technologies of Azure, 
pre-built frameworks and analytical dashboards on Eka's ESG and sustainability 
reporting solution will further help them report it as per industry-mandated 
frameworks and reduce their environmental footprint across all emission 
sources. 

    Manav Garg, CEO and Founder of Eka, said: "ESG and Sustainability reporting 
is subject to a lot of attention but little clarity, and businesses continue to 
struggle with multiple reporting standards and frameworks. The strong, trusted 
relationship between Microsoft and Eka is at the heart of this exciting 
collaboration, and we are committed to providing enterprises the support they 
need with their ESG and sustainability disclosures, empowering them to address 
opportunities that will benefit the world today and generations to come."

    Ahmed Mazhari, President, Microsoft Asia, said: "At Microsoft, we believe 
sustainability is critical to meet the economic, societal and environmental 
needs of today and the years to come. In the current landscape of multiple 
reporting frameworks, proactive solutions like Eka's will support our 
customers' sustainability journey. We are pleased that Eka is using the power 
of Microsoft Azure for its cloud solutions to enable leaders of global 
enterprises to progress their business strategies and reach their 
sustainability goals faster."

    With this collaboration, enterprises will benefit from pre-built frameworks 
to report against various industry standards including GRI, SDG, SASB, CDP, 
TCFD, SECR, GRESB and BRSR. With Eka's highly configurable platform-driven 
solution, businesses can easily build more frameworks as their requirements and 
regulations continue to evolve and take shape. Together with Microsoft, Eka 
will help enterprises unlock the value and benefit of ESG and Sustainability 
reporting.
