BONIFACIO GLOBAL CITY, Taguig – Listed natural resources development company Nickel Asia Corp. (NAC) has announced its collaboration with board portal provider Azeus Convene ESG as part of its digitalization strategy.
The move comes as NAC continues to ramp up initiatives toward achieving its sustainability goals. This also makes the Company the first in the mining industry to embrace such an innovative approach in handling data, especially geared toward ESG.
“We’ve come a long way from the tradition of manual spreadsheets, transitioning to technological-driven processes to ensure efficiency in the realization of our sustainability ambitions,” said Jose Bayani Baylon, NAC Chief Sustainability Officer.
“NAC is laser-focused in its sustainability strategies. From day one when we first crafted our Sustainability Roadmap in 2021 to forming Technical Working Groups within our business units and operating companies to identify materiality issues and concerns, down to spotting the gaps and designing a plan of action to address these gaps,” he added.
Through Convene, NAC will be able to digitalize data related to greenhouse gases, water consumption, and safety hours, among others, and create a baseline as it aims to achieve Net Zero Carbon by 2050.
This would not only allow the Company to track its progress but also make more informed decisions, craft business strategies, and continuously improve the integration of sustainable initiatives into its operations.
“Convene guides our people to perform with much more confidence, more efficiently, and perhaps, even more fun because all the data that will be collected in real-time will give us a clearer picture of where we are right now and where we want to go moving forward to be better as a company,” Assistant Vice President for Sustainability Edwin Nerva said.
