BoardPAC, a global leader in board management solutions, has been awarded the Carbon Neutral Certification for the third consecutive year, reinforcing its unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability. The certification, granted by The Sri Lanka Climate Fund (SLCF) under the Ministry of Environment, recognizes BoardPAC’s dedication to fostering a low-carbon business environment and promoting sustainable corporate practices in the year 2023.
The certification was awarded following a rigorous assessment of BoardPAC’s Organization-Level Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, which were successfully offset in adherence to the ISO 14064 – 1:2018 standard. This achievement underscores the company’s continued efforts to minimize its carbon footprint while setting a benchmark for sustainability in corporate governance.
Since its inception, BoardPAC has been at the forefront of paperless boardroom solutions, enabling organizations to eliminate paper-intensive processes and transition to a more sustainable workflow. With a presence in over 40 countries, BoardPAC’s technology has helped businesses significantly reduce their reliance on printed documents, leading to the preservation of an estimated 16,000 trees annually.
Lakmini Wijesundera, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, praised this milestone, stating, “Sustainability is no longer a choice but a responsibility, and at BoardPAC, we lead by example. As a company that drives digital transformation in boardrooms worldwide, we recognize the importance of aligning technology with environmental stewardship. Achieving Carbon Neutral Certification for the third consecutive year reaffirms our commitment to reducing our environmental impact while helping enterprises transition to more sustainable governance practices.”
Beyond digital transformation, BoardPAC has implemented several key initiatives to reinforce its commitment to sustainability. The company maintains a paperless office environment and actively encourages remote work, reducing fuel consumption and associated emissions. Additionally, BoardPAC has undertaken a tree planting program in Colombo, Sri Lanka, aimed at promoting urban reforestation and enhancing environmental conservation efforts. The organization also operates a dedicated corporate social responsibility (CSR) team focused on waste reduction, with a structured system in place to monitor and minimize food, plastic, and paper waste.
Mr. K R Uduwawala, Secretary to the Ministry of Environment and Chairman of the Sri Lanka Climate Fund, remarked, “BoardPAC’s continued commitment to carbon neutrality sets an important example for the corporate sector. Achievements like these play a crucial role in advancing Sri Lanka’s sustainability agenda and reinforcing the IT industry’s responsibility toward a greener future.”
The attainment of the Carbon Neutral Certification for the third consecutive year is a testament to BoardPAC’s steadfast commitment to sustainable business practices. This milestone would not have been possible without the collective effort of its employees, whose dedication to environmental responsibility continues to drive the company’s sustainability agenda. As BoardPAC advances in its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) journey, it remains focused on delivering innovative governance solutions while championing a greener, more sustainable future for businesses worldwide.
