At PearlArc, we recognize that sustainability is no longer just an option, but a responsibility. As we strive for excellence in software development, we integrate sustainability into every aspect of our operations and working to reduce environmental impacts, preserve natural resources, and contribute to a healthier planet. Our commitment is reflected in our adherence to ISO 27001:2022 standards, where sustainability is incorporated into our Information Security Management System (ISMS), ensuring that environmental considerations are balanced with our information security objectives.
We believe that reducing our environmental footprint is crucial for addressing climate change and ensuring a sustainable future. Our sustainability goals are clear, measurable, and integrated into our overall strategy, focusing on key objectives such as
• Reducing carbon emissions through energy-efficient practices and cloud-based solutions.
•Conserving resources by optimizing processes and adopting paperless operations.
• Minimizing waste by implementing digital solutions.
We track our progress through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), ensuring ongoing improvement and accountability.
In the age of digital transformation, sustainability is more than a goal, it is a fundamental responsibility. As a forward-thinking software company, we utilize technology to minimize paper usage and promote a more sustainable future. Our initiatives prioritize the creation of a digital-first workplace, delivering environmental benefits while boosting efficiency, cutting costs, and advancing our digital transformation.
We’ve taken significant strides to embrace digital solutions across the organization, reducing paper waste and optimizing processes.
• HR and operational workflows have transitioned to cloud-based platforms for applications, training, and documentation, eliminating paper forms.
• All contractor and employee paperwork is completed online, reducing the use of printed materials.
• Training materials are hosted on Internal SharePoint, replacing printed handbooks and manuals.
As a software company, we are committed to sustainable coding practices that enhance performance while minimizing resource consumption and environmental impact.
• To conserve resources, print logs are avoided during development.
• Writing optimized, energy-efficient code to reduce energy consumption in applications and servers.
• Code reviews ensure sustainability best practices are followed, aligning the codebase with green standards.
Our workplace fosters eco-friendly habits that contribute to sustainability every day. These small changes have a collective impact:
• Employees are encouraged to use e-tickets, e-statements, and digital alternatives for daily tasks.
• Tools like OneNote and Notepad++ are promoted to replace traditional paper notebooks.
• Internal and external meetings are held virtually, reducing printed agendas and travel-related emissions.
Adopting cloud-based solutions such as Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint ensures the elimination of physical documents and promotes seamless collaboration across teams, enhancing overall efficiency and productivity.
• Cloud platforms allow multiple users to edit documents simultaneously, reducing the need for printed drafts.
• Employees can access documents anytime, anywhere, reducing the need to print files for offline access.
• Transitioning to the cloud has reduced energy consumption and paper usage associated with manual storage.
Gone are the days of printing documents for signatures. With the use of digital signature tools like Adobe Sign, approvals and contract signings have become faster, more secure, and paperless.
• Digital signatures speed up the approval process by eliminating delays from printing,
scanning, and mailing.
• Digital signatures save on paper, ink, printing devices, and courier services.
• Teams and clients can sign documents remotely, enhancing inclusivity and collaboration.
• Digital signatures are encrypted and authenticated, providing superior security over traditional handwritten signatures.
We actively seek ways to minimize our carbon emissions through:
• Remote Work Options: Reducing daily commutes and associated emissions.
• Sustainable Supply Chains: Partnering with local suppliers to minimize emissions from transportation.
• Partnering with certified e-waste recyclers to responsibly dispose of old hardware.
• Educating employees on best practices for reducing energy and resource consumption.
Responsibility, rooted in our core values, drives our business operations. It forms the foundation of our commitment to sustainability, acting as a key enabler for new business models and services. This approach enhances our contribution to society and the environment, paving the way toward a more sustainable future.
