BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PRO Unlimited, an Integrated Workforce Management (IWM) platform provider, today unveiled its environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitment focused on several goals for maintaining the sustainability of the environment, the community, and the economies in which PRO operates. To help further these goals, the company is also announcing a new partnership with Carbonfund.org, a leader in building sustainability initiatives for corporations and individuals.
“Our business is about making people’s work lives better — and that extends beyond the four walls of an office,” said Kevin Akeroyd, CEO at PRO Unlimited. “It’s no secret that socio-economic and environmental factors affect individuals’ health, happiness and productivity. At PRO Unlimited, we view our ongoing ESG initiatives as integral to our overall mission.”
In March 2022, the company announced its intention to align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals on climate action. As part of this initiative, PRO committed to prioritizing sustainable operations by:
- Working toward net-zero status with Science-Based Targets initiatives.
- Switching its electricity mixture to include maximum renewable energy available at all sites.
- Reducing business travel and renting hybrid or electric vehicles whenever possible.
- Training managers to weigh the environmental impact of their decisions.
- Reevaluating in-office recycling and reuse policies.
The Carbonfree® Partner Program provides businesses with a route to carbon neutrality through educational initiatives and carbon offset projects. As a Carbonfree® Partner Program member, PRO will leverage the organization’s third-party validated carbon offset programs—which include investments in forestry projects, renewable energy, and energy-efficient architecture—to meet its ongoing sustainability goals. PRO’s participation in the Carbonfree program will support the company’s goal of carbon neutrality.
The company is also part of the United Nations’ Global Compact, the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative.
