ADEC Innovations Receives Three ISO Re-Certifications

ADEC Innovations remains true to its commitment to excellence after receiving three International Organization for Standards (ISO) re-certifications from TUV Rheinland Philippines. March 5, 2021 — ADEC Innovations remains true to its commitment to excellence after receiving three International Organization for Standards (ISO) re-certifications from TUV Rheinland Philippines. As a result of an extensive audit conducted from February 22 to March 5, ADEC Innovations once again received the ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 27001:2013 certifications. This is ADEC Innovations’ fourth consecutive year of receiving the three certifications with zero incidences of non-conformance. Asia-Pacific and Oceania Regional Head Andrew Paterson also noted that this year’s achievement is a significant milestone to the company, as it is the first audit conducted virtually. ISO 9001:2015 is dedicated to Quality Management Systems (QMS) and outlines a framework to improve the quality of products and services and consistently meet the expectations of customers and clients. ISO 14001:2015, on the other hand, serves as the benchmark for an Environmental Management System (EMS) that an organization can use to enhance its environmental performance. ISO 27001:2013 outlines a best-practice standard on an Information Security Management System (ISMS) that sufficiently protects sensitive data from cyberthreats. Commitment to standards These certifications are validations of the controls placed in the company’s Philippine operations. The audit also revealed 19 positive findings and 26 opportunities for improvement. For Vice President on Compliances Mark Barro, these findings are vital to the company’s pursuit of continuous improvement. “This year’s audit couldn’t have been successful without everyone’s collective effort and dedication to their work. It only goes to show how excellence is a core value of every ADEC employee,” Barro said. General Manager Jurgen Tanpho, meanwhile, further lauded how the organization prepared for the audit for more than a year. “While others consider these audits as a two-week process, ADEC Innovations strives to make ISO part of its daily operations,” Tanpho said. Through these certifications, ADEC Innovations reassures its clients of its compliance to global standards in the delivery of innovative business solutions.

Digitalization Takes Center Stage as ADEC Innovations Wins Third Top Exporter Award

ADEC Innovations’ winning the Top Services Exporter Award for the third consecutive year comes across as timely, with the current pandemic compelling businesses to double down on digitalization in building back better. December 3, 2020, Manila, Philippines — ADEC Innovations’ winning the Top Services Exporter Award for the third consecutive year comes across as timely, with the current pandemic compelling businesses to double down on digitalization in building back better. ADEC Innovations was once again named the top exporter for services for this year’s virtual National Export Congress, organized by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). For ADEC Innovations CEO James Donovan, the company’s third consecutive award holds more significance after a tumultuous year. “COVID-19 has disrupted the operations of every business. But with the help of our government partners, and with the dedication of our Filipino workforce, ADEC Innovations was able to go back to business as usual within two weeks,” Donovan said. Innovations in the new normal With the theme “Digitalization Boost: Invigorating Exports in the New Normal,” this year’s National Export Congress reiterated and expanded last year’s discussions on driving digital transformation throughout industries. Both businesses and governments around the world had to adopt innovative programs in the wake of the pandemic, according to DTI Secretary Ramon Lopez. Citing a joint study by the World Bank and the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), Lopez called for the rapid adoption of digital technologies to recover from the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. “This crisis has underlined that going digital is the best and only solution during the pandemic, and that we should seize the opportunity this offers,” Lopez said in his keynote address. Even before the pandemic, ADEC Innovations has already been driving digital transformation among governments and organizations. For more than two decades, the company has been driving sustainable practices and empowering better decision-making through its data management solutions. “We take pride in being one of the companies that have exported not only our services, but also our leadership and expertise to the world,” Donovan said. Outlook for exporters In the midst of the new normal, Philippine Exporters Confederation, Inc. (PHILEXPORT) President Sergio R. Ortiz-Luis, Jr. indicated a positive outlook for Filipino exporters. “The Philippine export industry is recovering: resilient and open for business as we commit to continuously evolve as a reliable competitive global supplier, especially in this new normal,” Ortiz-Luis said. Lopez also expressed his gratitude to service exporters like ADEC Innovations, lauding them as “beacons of hope and inspiration for other Philippine exporters and [the] country’s pursuit of sustainable economic progress.” This year’s Top Exporter Awardees were once again chosen based on their exemplary contributions and excellence in their chosen field. ADEC Innovations first received the recognition in 2018, and has received the award consecutively ever since.

ADEC Innovations, for its part, has focused on maintaining critical services for customers while prioritizing the safety and welfare of its staff. In line with ADEC’s Business Continuity Management (BCM) plans, we have established a fast-paced and flexible plan of action to adjust to this new reality.

Work-from-home arrangements have been made available, especially to those working on critical operations for clients who have agreed with this business continuity approach. This set-up is supported by systems and mechanisms designed for effective telecommuting as an essential aspect of protecting services.

On-site employees managing the backbone of our operations have also been provided accommodation and transport arrangements in compliance with the strict community quarantine controls imposed by the government. Additionally, adherence to rigorous safety, cleanliness, and social distancing directives by local authorities were enforced in our operations centres, across our various locations.

We continue to closely monitor the global and local developments on COVID-19 through hands-on leadership, with particular emphasis on enabling various task forces to create an informed employee base.

In the coming days, we will be focusing on ensuring the security of our operations, as well as strictly maintaining the continuity of execution of our services.

This transition has been challenging for management and employees, but, thanks to everyone’s hard work, we have been able to implement our service recovery plan successfully.

ADEC Innovations CEO Stresses the Need for Integrated Frameworks in Achieving SDGs

ADEC Innovations CEO James Donovan speaks in front of governments, private sector and civil society representatives during the Business Assembly at the recently concluded Tenth Session of the World Urban Forum (WUF10) in Abu Dhabi, UAE. February 13, 2020, Abu Dhabi, UAE— Achieving the common vision of sustainable cities around the world will require an engaging framework for the private sector, and integrated reporting can play a vital role in spurring immediate and concrete actions. This was the call raised by ADEC Innovations CEO James Donovan in the Business Assembly during the recently-concluded Tenth Session of the World Urban Forum (WUF10), where he was joined by other global leaders in discussing their roles in realizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UN Habitat’s New Urban Agenda (NUA). For Donovan, norms and standards that measure any organization’s progress on sustainability are seen to play an increasingly important role in contributing to these global goals. “There is a need to bridge the communication gap between governments, multilateral organizations, the private sector, and society to ultimately achieve sustainable development. Norms and standards will provide an environment that enables us to address the significant trillions of dollars in financial gap to achieving the SDGs,” Donovan explained. Integrated reporting, in particular, is seen to have the potential to influence the private sector and pave the way for actual change. “People-first PPPs (public-private partnerships) supported by data are important, especially in measuring the non-financial aspects to translate these investments’ value and impact,” Donovan said. These sentiments were in response to the challenge posed by UN Habitat’s Executive Director Maimunah Mohd Sharif, who urged all WUF10 participants to focus on concrete outcomes for sustainable cities. “I know that we share a common vision of sustainable and safer cities. We will go further today. We know that urbanization is unstoppable,” Sharif said. Donovan was joined by the UN Development Programme’s Policy Advisor on Inclusive Growth Renata Rubian, Global Development incubator Wadzi Katsidzira, and ARCADIS Shelter Programme Director Bert Smolders in the business assembly moderated by Monitoring and Evaluation Collaborative Association (MECA) Vice President Gabriel Pettyjohn. During the assembly, Donovan, along with his fellow panelists, engaged in discussions on the role of cross-sectoral collaboration in upgrading the sustainability of cities globally and how to set standards for such collaborations. Realizing standards and norms is one of the core competencies of Donovan’s company, ADEC Innovations, which provides assurance solutions for governments, businesses, and coalitions in following international guidelines and agreements.

Irvine, CA, USA, and London, UK, August 20, 2019 (Newswire.com) — ADEC Innovations, a leader in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) solutions, and Libryo, a legal tech company that provides SaaS for regulatory law, announce their partnership to deliver a software module empowering brands and suppliers to understand their legal requirements and compliance status in real-time, fostering responsible practices through improved processes, greater transparency, and operational efficiencies. CleanChain, an ADEC Innovation, is an application designed to help organizations gain visibility and insights into chemical use throughout their supply chain, automating the processes of tracking, managing, and reporting compliance with Manufacturing Restricted Substance Lists (MRSLs) and Restricted Substances Lists (RSLs).

The tool converts relevant legal items into a simple checklist and details next-steps for compliance, allowing users to answer the question, ‘What does the law require my business to do here and now?’ in seconds. Peter Flynn, Libryo’s Chief Executive Officer said, “We are delighted to have partnered with ADEC Innovations to bring the Compliance Module to an industry that has been searching for a smarter way to address this very difficult problem. Helping to solve environmental and social issues like this is the reason we founded Libryo, so it is very satisfying to see this solution launch so strongly.” “The driving force behind CleanChain is transparency, and our partnership with Libryo allows us to take that to the next level,” said Lance Pierce, President, Global Development, ADEC Innovations. “Having real-time access to regulations involving waste production, hazardous chemicals, and child labor empowers companies to proactively make positive impacts for their business, as well as the communities they serve, and to be transparent in doing so.” Check out the CleanChain Compliance Module info sheet to learn more. ### Libryo Libryo is an automated, cloud-based platform that helps organisations know the law that applies to their business, in every jurisdiction.

UNDP, DENR and ADEC Innovations to develop a Biodiversity Monitoring and Investment Platform

The UNDP through the Biodiversity Finance Initiative together with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ Biodiversity Management Bureau and ADEC Innovations committed to work together to develop an online Biodiversity Monitoring and Evaluation system and an investment platform to meet national targets for biodiversity conservation. Manila, Philippines (4 March 2019) – The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) through the Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN) together with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) through its Biodiversity Management Bureau and ADEC Innovations Corporation committed to work together to develop an online Biodiversity Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) system and an investment platform to meet national targets for biodiversity conservation. The M&E Platform is one of BIOFIN Philippines’ 21 finance solutions all aimed at narrowing the huge financing gap for the Philippine Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (PBSAP) implementation, the country’s roadmap to sustainably manage its biodiversity. The Platform will track the progress of the implementation of the PBSAP while mobilizing resources from various mechanisms such as corporate social responsibility, crowdfunding, diaspora or migrant philanthropy, and impact investment. The Platform is also envisioned to foster transparency and accountability on investments made for biodiversity thereby increasing both public and private sector participation to unlock capital towards sustainable biodiversity financing. This is in the context that there is an estimated gap of almost PhP19B (USD 349M) in the annual budget (2015-2028) for biodiversity efforts in the Philippines. ADEC Innovations Corporation recognizes the importance of developing such Platform and has committed to work hand in hand with UNDP-BIOFIN Philippines and DENR-BMB. “We at ADEC Innovations see the value in developing this platform as a way to achieve the Philippines’ targets for biodiversity conservation,” said James Donovan, CEO of ADEC Innovations. “This initiative not only requires work from the government and public agencies, but also calls for efforts from us in the private sector as we undoubtedly share the same vision with the Philippine government when it comes to sustainable management of natural resources,” Donovan added. “Clearly there is big opportunity to leverage the capital, capabilities and innovation available from the private sector for biodiversity conservation. UNDP is delighted to have the opportunity to work with ADEC Innovations, known for its software development capabilities, to create this unique platform to monitor and promote public and private investments in biodiversity conservation. This will be an invaluable tool for DENR to help it bridge the financing gap,” as seconded by Titon Mitra, UNDP Resident Representative. Encapsulating the country’s rich and vast data from various agencies and organizations, this Platform will provide visibility on and serve as repository of information on biodiversity-related projects and initiatives nationwide. The information provided by the Platform are expected to allow for making informed decisions for government programming and budgeting as well as for private investments for biodiversity contributing to the achievement of the Philippine Development Plan targets, Aichi Biodiversity Targets, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals Targets. It will also aid in the Philippines’ reporting to the Convention on Biological Diversity, a fulfillment of its international obligation. “I am excited about this partnership especially on working with UNDP and ADEC Innovations. I am looking forward to more years of partnership and learning more about this initiative,” said Director Crisanta Marlene Rodriguez of the Biodiversity Management Bureau and added that BMB will facilitate DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu’s signing of the Memorandum of Understanding for this undertaking. She assured that DENR Secretary Cimatu, as a biodiversity advocate himself, will strongly support this initiative. ### About Biodiversity Financing Initiative (BIOFIN) Launched in 2012, the Biodiversity Finance Initiative – BIOFIN, as a new global partnership, seeks to address the biodiversity finance challenge in a comprehensive manner – building a sound business case for increased investment in the management of ecosystems and biodiversity, with a particular focus on the needs and transformational opportunities at the national level. For more information, please visit: http://www.biodiversityfinance.net.

什么是大宗化学品？我们应该如何处理大宗化学品？

影响购买大宗化学品的主要因素往往是成本和即时性。因此，买家经常更换这些化学品的供应商是很常见的现象。

ZDHC对大宗化学品的定义是，具有已知化学结构和单一CAS（Chemical Abstracts Service）编号的单一物质或化合物。这些化学品通常用于制造过程中创造条件或作为辅助剂。不同厂家生产的两种大宗化学品具有相同性和互换性。它们通常不会留在最终产品上，而是在加工过程中被清洗掉了。

虽然大宗化学品包含在ZDHC MRSL（制造限制物质清单）中，但由于在ZDHC网关中参与大宗化学品行业并将这些物质纳入符合ZDHC MRSL的ZDHC网关产品数据库仍有一定挑战，所以大宗化学品被排除在Performance InCheck报告之外。

大宗化学品制造商服务于多个行业，不限于纺织、服装、皮革和鞋类，这使得在可追溯性和地图绘制方面具有挑战性。影响购买大宗化学品的主要因素往往是成本和即时性。因此，买家经常更换这些化学品的供应商是很常见的现象。

为了保证清单数据的准确性和及时性，有如下建议：

检查和更新您的化学品清单

定期检查和更新您的化学品清单，以反映任何变化或新增数据。核实所有化学品，包括大宗化学品，是否准确记录。

每月清单更新

确保化学品清单每月更新，包括期间使用的所有化学品，以确保数据的准确和即时性。

熟悉ZDHC更新指南

供应商应熟悉ZDHC大宗化学品指南ZDHC Commodity Chemical Guide。本指南概述了管理大宗化学品的最佳做法，确保它们得到负责任的评估和储存。

为什么可持续发展对供应商很重要？

随着环境问题成为人们关注的焦点，品牌、监管机构和消费者都要求供应商提高透明度，承担更大的责任。但这对服装和纺织行业的供应商意味着什么？

数据表明：

70%的品牌更喜欢拥有透明的可持续发展数据的供应商。品牌正在优先考虑那些能够提供可验证数据的供应商。如果没有透明度，供应商就有可能把业务输给已经准备好的竞争对手。

时尚供应链占全球碳排放量的10%。服装业是造成气候变化的最大因素之一。减少碳排放不再仅仅是合规性的问题，而是关于在一个可持续性是品牌和消费者的关键决策因素的市场中保持相关性。。

纺织生产占全球工业水污染的20%。纺织制造中的化学密集型工艺造成了严重的水污染。品牌越来越多地执行更严格的环境要求，这使得供应商必须改善废水管理和化学品合规性。

CleanChain如何赋能供应商？

供应商需要合适的工具来应对这些挑战并实现可持续发展目标。CleanChain简化了环境合规和可持续发展报告，帮助供应商

✅自动化合规性追踪，并确保符合ZDHC MRSL和其他法规。

✅通过实时数据洞察和性能监控减少碳和水足迹。

可持续供应链的未来

可持续性不仅仅是满足法规要求——它还关乎提高竞争优势，加强品牌关系，以及企业的未来发展。随着对可持续发展的期望不断提高，主动适应的供应商将最有利于长期成功。
