ADEC Innovations Amidst Covid-19

With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to spread around the world, industries from various sectors have taken unprecedented but necessary measures aimed at continuously delivering services while protecting the welfare of employees.

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.

As the world continues to deal with the growing threat of COVID-19, ADEC Innovations wishes to assure our stakeholders that we remain steadfast in our commitment to address the needs of clients and staff during this challenging time.

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.

ADEC Innovations Receives Top Philippine Exporter Award For Second Straight Year

Manila, Philippines

For the second straight year, ADEC Innovations received the Excellence Award for Service Export during this year’s National Export Congress, organised by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

DTI again recognised ADEC Innovations and its significant contributions in the field of knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) and in the services outsourcing industry as a whole in 2019.

Co-founder and CFO Carol Esguerra, Executive Director for Industry Affairs Jeanette Carillo, and Marketing Director Dave Buenviaje received the recognition during the awarding ceremony held at the Philippine International Convention Centre.

Among the attendees were DTI secretary Ramon Lopez, Export Management Bureau Director Senen Perlada, and Philippine Exporters Confederation, Inc. (PHILEXPORT) President Sergio R. Ortiz-Luis, Jr.

Prior to the awarding ceremony, DTI officials and representatives from the public and private sectors discussed avenues and opportunities to drive exports through digital transformation with a series of panel discussions. As the panelists noted, many Filipino companies have yet to fully embrace true digital transformation despite expressing their interest in doing so.

Driving organisations towards digital transformation is at the core of ADEC Innovations and its services for more than two decades.

“Digitising physical assets and analyzing data is something we have been doing since we started as a BPO company,” Esguerra said.

Innovative services, like the solutions offered by ADEC Innovations, are essential in an increasingly digital world, according to Perlanan. “Companies have to adapt to digital transformation. Otherwise, they might be left behind,” Perlada said.

With this latest recognition, ADEC Innovations strengthens its position at the forefront of the KPO industry, and in the outsourcing industry as a whole.

This year’s Excellence Award for Service Export lauded companies that made exemplary contributions and exhibited excellence in their chosen fields.

Nominees were selected by their respective industry associations, with the winners determined through rigorous criteria.

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).

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.

MAS Holdings Makes a CleanChain Connection With ADEC Innovations in Journey Toward Elimination of Hazardous Materials

IRVINE, Calif. and Colombo, Sri Lanka, June 13, 2018 (Newswire.com)— MAS Holdings (MAS), a leading manufacturer of intimate apparel, sports, swim and performance wear, has invested in CleanChain, a software solution from ADEC Innovations, in its quest to be a zero toxic manufacturer. CleanChain, an ADEC Innovation, will be used by the group to manage chemical use throughout MAS’ global manufacturing operations and supply chain. As part of its zero toxic commitments, MAS needed a process and reporting system that provided inventory registration and management, usage tracking and dashboard views for each of their facilities spread around the globe. After reviewing a number of different solutions, MAS selected CleanChain because it offered a number of unique features not offered by other software companies and allowed them to create the solutions their manual approach had not delivered. Working together, MAS and ADEC Innovations implemented CleanChain to fulfill their specific reporting needs. MAS has since facilitated the adoption of CleanChain at 20 chemical intensive manufacturing facilities in Australia, Bangladesh, China, Germany, Honduras, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Italy, Jordan, Mexico, Sri Lanka, United Kingdom, United States, and Vietnam.

“Since implementing CleanChain and collaborating with the ADEC Innovations team, we have transformed our inefficient and laborintensive processes into a comprehensive system that helps us better understand and reduce risks, and reduced our manual burden and the associated costs of aggregating supply chain data.”

– Sharika Senanayaka, Director Environmental Sustainability, MAS Holdings
“We needed to more proactively and systematically manage the vast amounts of chemical information across our global operations,” said Sharika Senanayake, Director Environmental Sustainability, MAS Holdings. “Since implementing CleanChain and collaborating with the ADEC Innovations team, we have transformed our inefficient and labor-intensive processes into a comprehensive system that helps us better understand and reduce risks, and reduced our manual burden and the associated costs of aggregating supply chain data.” MAS attributes significant improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of chemical management across their supply chain to CleanChain. An early adopter of the platform, MAS joined in 2016 and has since played an important collaborative role in improving ADEC Innovations’ pioneering chemical information management solution. “ADEC Innovations is thrilled to partner with MAS Holdings in the deployment of CleanChain within their organization and across the supply chain,” said Robert A. Francisco, President, ADEC Innovations. “Our collaboration supports MAS Holdings’ continued commitment to being a proactive and forward-thinking organization with products, plans and strategies that focus on sustainability. Their core ideals are in direct alignment with ADEC Innovations’ mission of developing solutions like CleanChain, which accelerate positive, global impact, resulting in a more sustainable future.” CleanChain is a secure online chemical information management system, built for manufacturers and supported by many of the major brands they supply.

More than 500 users have joined the platform.
