BEIJING, April 12,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NaaS Technology (NASDAQ:NAAS) ,
the first U.S. listed EV charging service company in China, recently announced its new status as a
global member of the United Nations Women's Empowerment
Principles (WEPs). The company pledges to advance gender
equality and women's empowerment, supporting global sustainable
development goals through its practical actions.
Zhai Yobo, General Manager of Carbon Neutrality at NaaS, stated
that as part of the company's sustainable development strategy,
NaaS is always dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive
working environment. It aims to provide female employees with equal
work opportunities and sufficient space for career growth. By
signing the WEPs, NaaS commits to the seven principles set forth by
the initiative, which focus on empowering women in the workplace,
marketplace, and community. This commitment ensures that women can
fully utilize their talents, skills, experiences, and energies.
The WEPs, a collaborative effort between the United Nations
Global Compact (UNGC) and UN Women, encompass seven key principles.
These include establishing high-level corporate leadership for
gender equality; treating all women and men fairly at work –
respecting and supporting human rights and nondiscrimination;
ensuring the health, safety and well-being of all women and men
workers; promoting education, training and professional development
for women, implementing enterprise development, supply chain and
marketing practices that empower women; promoting equality through
community initiatives and advocacy; and measuring and publicly
reporting on progress to achieve gender equality.
NaaS' joining WEPs reflects its support for the United Nations'
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its proactive
approach to the global sustainable development goal of gender
equality. At present, the company has formulated a sustainable
development strategy and actively practices the ESG concept. With
green sources, stations and uses, NaaS facilitates green and
low-carbon operations across all aspects of its charging service.
It has set a target to achieve carbon neutrality in its operations
by 2028. In 2023, NaaS reported an annual carbon reduction of
3.1523 million tons, marking a 70.6% increase from the 1.8477
million tons in 2022.
In China, WEPs membership
includes Lenovo Group, Alibaba, Envision Energy, JinkoSolar, and
other companies. NaaS's membership broadens the WEPs' influence in
China, and the company is eager to
collaborate with its peers to reach the sustainable development
goal of gender equality.
Previously, NaaS officially joined the "Forward Faster" of the
UNGC, committing to actively investing corporate resources in
climate action and gender equality, and accelerating the
achievement of sustainable development goals. By engaging with
international organizations and initiatives, NaaS has demonstrated
its leadership and sense of responsibility in global sustainable
development.
