Afiniti GoGreen: Championing Sustainability and Fostering Eco-Consciousness
Afiniti has formally launched the dynamic GoGreen initiative to foster sustainability awareness and integrate eco-friendly practices throughout the organization. The team has implemented several projects and is continuously exploring new initiatives to advance in the realm of sustainability.
Key Green Initiatives
Afiniti Forest
In 2023, colleagues in Islamabad took a significant step towards a sustainable future by launching the “Afiniti Forest.” In collaboration with local authorities, they planted 400 trees along Islamabad’s 7th Avenue. These trees will help sequester carbon, improve air quality, and prevent soil erosion. Additionally, they will create a habitat for local wildlife, enhancing urban biodiversity.
Laptop Donation Drives
Afiniti donated numerous outdated laptops to non-profit and charitable organizations. These laptops, although no longer meeting the company’s technological needs, will be effectively utilized by these organizations.
Responsible Vendor Partnerships
Afinti extends its commitment to corporate responsibility to its partnerships. The Vendor Information Form (VIF), required for all new vendors on SAP Ariba, includes a section on Supplier Assessment in areas of Diversity, Sustainability, and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Vendors are encouraged to demonstrate their commitment to:
- Fair labor practices and human rights
- Environmentally friendly initiatives, including energy efficiency and waste reduction
- Sustainable procurement and ethical business conduct
- Promoting and safeguarding human rights
- Reducing environmental impact
This initiative fosters a collaborative ecosystem that shares Afiniti’s values of diversity, sustainability, and corporate social responsibility.
Key Inclusion Initiatives
Empowering Growth: Relaunching Women@Afiniti ERG
Afiniti is proud to announce the relaunch of Women@Afiniti as an Employee Resource Group (ERG). This vibrant community fosters inclusivity, support, and advocacy for women in our workplace. ERGs are voluntary, employee-led groups focused on building a culture of belonging, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Women@Afiniti aims to create safe spaces for open conversations, provide essential resources for women’s empowerment, promote gender equity, and enhance overall engagement and inclusion. Last year, we celebrated International Women’s Day globally, launched a Career Reboot Program in Pakistan, hosted AI/ML workshops for girls and non-binary youth, conducted Speaker Series events and Mentoring Circles, and recognized outstanding women and allies through STEM awards.
Looking ahead, we will continue our International Women’s Day celebrations, host AI/ML workshops with IGNITE, and introduce new programs like “Data Science as An Art.” We also plan to launch a financial literacy and education program for women, continue our Mentoring Circles, and maintain partnerships with organizations like TechWomen.
We invite all employees at Afiniti to join Women@Afiniti ERG, offering opportunities to lead initiatives, support programs, and suggest new ideas. Together, we can build a workplace that empowers, supports, and celebrates the diverse strengths of women. Join us in creating a more inclusive future.
