    Eka Software Solutions, a global leader in providing enterprise cloud 
solutions for the CFO's office, announced successful digitalization of 
Sustainability and ESG reporting for Precious Shipping Public Company Limited 
(PSL). The project's implementation was accomplished through Eka's award

and sustainable returns to its shareholders. In its latest sustainability 
report, the shipping company reported a huge reduction in its carbon footprint, 
lowering its average carbon intensity per transport by 42.4% over the entire 
fleet, compared to 2014 as the baseline year.

    Speaking about the implementation, Gautam Khurana, Director (Finance), 
Precious Shipping Public Company Limited, said, "For over a decade, Precious 
Shipping has followed sustainable practices to ensure our investments are in 
sync with creating a more sustainable future. With Eka's platform driven 
Sustainability and ESG reporting solution, we were able to successfully 
automate the management of our sustainability reporting, including carbon 
accounting and reduction. Their wide selection of reporting standards and 
frameworks allows us to report accurate data across multiple global standards 
and address the diverse interests of our many stakeholders. Overall, our 
reporting time reduced by 50%, giving our teams crucial time back to focus on 
more strategic work."

    "Precious Shipping has committed itself to creating value for all its 
stakeholders in global trade by embedding sustainable practices at the core of 
its business," says Shuchi Nijhawan, Chief Sustainability Officer, Eka Software 
Solutions. "We are honored to be a part of PSL's mission to transform their 
sustainability reporting with solutions to help the company continue driving 
real change with conscious decisions that are environmentally responsible," she
