At PearlArc, sustainability is more than a responsibility, it is an integral part of how we operate, innovate, and grow. As a technology-driven organization, we leverage digital innovation, a cloud-first architecture, and responsible business practices to reduce our environmental footprint and contribute to a greener and more resilient future.
Our sustainability approach aligns with global climate priorities and integrates seamlessly into our ISO 27001:2022 framework. This ensures that environmental responsibility is embedded in our governance, operations, supplier relationships, and day-to-day decision-making.
PearlArc is committed to achieving Net-Zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050.
This pledge reflects our long-term vision to reduce emissions across our operations, value chain, and strategic partnerships while supporting global climate goals.
We actively minimize our carbon footprint through
• A cloud-first architecture leveraging AWS and Azure
• We maintain only basic on-premises infrastructure
• Digital-only processes across all departments
• Use of energy-efficient tools and platforms
•Continuous optimization of cloud resources
This reduces energy consumption, hardware dependency, and physical resource usage.
PearlArc incorporates environmentally responsible habits across the organization
• Reduced paper usage and complete digital documentation
• Sustainable procurement and vendor evaluation
• Efficient use of computing and IT resources
• Adoption of eco-friendly operational habits across teams
Environmental sustainability is embedded into our information security and corporate governance through
• Sustainability considerations within risk assessments
• Supplier and third-party evaluation based on environmental performance

This ensures that environmental responsibility is part of PearlArc’s operational backbone.
We collaborate with partners and providers who align with our sustainability goals
• Cloud providers with renewable energy commitments
• Vendors following responsible environmental and ethical practices
• Third-party integrations evaluated for both sustainability and security
To build awareness and drive engagement, PearlArc publishes a monthly sustainability update on the internal SharePoint platform.
Each update
• Highlights one key sustainability initiative (energy conservation, carbon reduction, waste reduction, paperless processes, etc.)
• Builds employee awareness on sustainability concepts
• Encourages small but meaningful behavioral changes
• Serves as a knowledge-sharing hub for sustainability-related efforts
This consistent communication nurtures a culture of sustainability across teams.
PearlArc is committed to sustainable and responsible handling of electronic waste.
To ensure proper disposal and recycling
• We have partnered with a certified e-waste vendor
• All outdated or non-functional electronic devices are disposed of responsibly
• E-waste processes follow environmental and regulatory best practices
This initiative supports waste reduction and promotes circular resource management.
We continuously monitor and protect our infrastructure from environmental risks such as fire, electrical surges, and flooding.
Our annual resilience tests include
• UPS systems
• Firewall resilience environmental performance
• Smoke detectors
• SharePoint & email availability tests
These practices safeguard resources, reduce failure risks, and prevent unplanned energy and hardware waste.
Our BCP ensures operational continuity with minimal environmental impact
• Annual BCP drills
• Remote work capability tests
• Documented emergency communication plans
• Well-defined Emergency Response Team (ERT)
• Third-party integrations evaluated for both sustainability and security
This ensures that PearlArc remains prepared for environmental, operational, or technological disruptions.
Our Disaster Recovery Plan helps reduce environmental and operational impact by
• Ensuring data protection through cloud redundancy
• Reducing physical hardware dependency
• Minimizing downtime and resource wastage
• Conducting annual DR testing (power failures, cyber incidents, remote work readiness)
Vendor coordination ensures aligned, efficient, and sustainable recovery.
We conduct annual certified fire drills to ensure safety, preparedness, and environmental protection
• Evacuation procedure validation
• Fire equipment inspection & refills
• Documented reports with timelines, issues, and corrective actions
This prevents environmental hazards and strengthens workplace safety.
To achieve our long-term climate goal, PearlArc has defined a clear and actionable pathway shaped by our digital-first operations, cloud ecosystem, sustainability governance practices, and continuous improvement culture. Our journey to Net-Zero focuses on strengthening efficiency, reducing emissions, engaging responsible partners, and embedding sustainability into every layer of how we operate.
PearlArc is committed to lowering emissions from all operational areas that fall within our control.
Key actions include
• Optimizing our digital infrastructure to reduce energy usage
• Maintaining a lean on-premise footprint through strategic cloud adoption
•Conducting regular BCP, DR, UPS, firewall, and system resilience tests that prevent downtime and avoid unnecessary energy and resource consumption
• Implementing environmentally conscious internal processes such as paperless workflows, efficient device usage, and power-saving practices
• Prioritizing technologies and infrastructure that are energy-efficient and sustainability-aligned
Through these measures, we ensure that our operational foundation evolves into a low-carbon, resilient environment.
Since a significant portion of our operations run on cloud platforms, PearlArc prioritizes digital environments that operate on renewable or low-carbon energy.
Our approach includes
• Leveraging AWS and Azure cloud services that commit to renewable energy adoption
• Integrating energy-efficient architectures into solution design
• Reducing reliance on local physical servers and power consumption
• Automating processes to minimize manual, energy-intensive activities
• Continuously optimizing cloud resource allocation to avoid waste
This transition strengthens our climate readiness while supporting a sustainable digital ecosystem.
PearlArc is committed to understanding and managing emissions across our extended operational ecosystem.
We will
• Assess energy-related emissions from internal operations and employee work settings
• Evaluate procurement-related emissions, including devices, IT assets, and software services
• Collaborate with vendors and third parties who follow sustainable and responsible practices
• Strengthen our Risk Management and Supplier Evaluation frameworks to include environmental criteria
By addressing direct and indirect emissions, we maintain a comprehensive and future-ready sustainability focus.
