Irish digital services company TEKenable is creating 10 new jobs with the establishment of an ESG Practice

The establishment of TEKenable’s ESG Practice is a key investment area for the company and a critical pillar of its growth strategy.  TEKenable’s clients can define a path to a more sustainable future.

The ESG Practice will provide ESG consulting services to TEKenable customers, especially around the areas of data collection and reporting, carbon reduction and return on investment. The ESG Practice will also provide services to TEKenable itself ensuring ESG is integrated into TEKenable’s customers’ purpose, governance, strategy, decision-making, risk management, and accountability reporting across all divisions of the company and will work closely with them to ensure that understanding and alignment of sustainability and ESG priorities are embraced throughout the organization.   As a result, TEKenable’s customers will be supported with advice, ESG aware project deliveries, ESG related software solutions and sustainable procurement.

“We have developed TEKenable’s ESG services to accelerate our customers on their sustainable transformation journey,” explains Nick Connors, Group CEO, TEKenable.  “Through the use of cloud-based technologies to enable secure data storage and seamless interactions to drive sustainable decisions across our customer’s operations and stakeholders, we will help them accelerate transformation of their organisations and value chains.”

TEKenable has partnered with EcoVadis, the world’s trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, in its quest to use technology to help achieve its objectives and help organisations improve their environmental, social and ethical performance faster and also with Irish ESG consultancy BluePlanet.

TEKenable delivers digital services through Low Code platforms to medium and large-scale enterprises in Ireland, the UK, Spain, Hungary and the UAE.  The company is Irish owned and is committed to transforming forward-thinking public and private sector businesses into fully digital businesses in the cloud.

The ESG Practice will be headed by a sustainable industry expert with a long track record of handling the interests of clients, stakeholders, regulators and partners. The new positions include Cloud Engineering, Data and Analytics and Consulting and will be fulfilled in 2024.

“TEKenable is committed to helping clients move from sustainability and climate commitments to action,” adds Peter Rose, Group CTO, TEKenable.  “We will do so by working with organisations to create a transformation plan as well as helping drive collaboration across a broader ecosystem – of suppliers, clients and customers, policymakers, and alliance partners across industries. Sustainable IT can lead the way while delivering service enhancements and cost savings for a business.”

TEKenable Downsizes its Office due to Success of Remote Working

TEKenable, the digital services company is moving to a smaller office as a result of the success of remote working.  The company has doubled in the last five years and regularly surveys employees about the culture of the organisation and to ask them about their preferred working model.  TEKenable currently employs over 160 staff and the company continues to grow.

“Prior to the pandemic, 50% of our workforce was already remote across our offices in the UK, Ireland, Hungary, Spain, UAE and the Middle East so many of our teams were set up for the format and flexible schedules were the norm”, explains Nick Connors, Group CEO, TEKenable.  “When the pandemic hit, technology was not a problem and the transition for the entire company proved so seamless that we were ready to change course and gave our employees the choice of in-house or remote working.  Remote working won out and our teams are functioning more efficiently than ever before.  It has become increasingly clear that our employees are happiest and did their best work when they had the flexibility to determine where and when they work best.”

“The requirement for attending an office was constraining growth by requiring recruitment from a specific geographic area and with Dublin in particular which meant dealing with the lack of housing or extended commute times,” adds Peter Rose, Group CTO, TEKenable.  “The biggest advantage is access to talent in places where we do not have offices and the benefit that brings.”

In the recent Great Place to Work assessment, TEKenable was recognised as the 15th Best Medium Workplace in Ireland 2023.  This is TEKenable’s first year to be named as a top Irish workplace which is based on direct feedback from employees.

“We as a company really value diversity and a people-first culture,” concludes Nick. “Our values are a part of that foundation, and things like having trust in your employees and knowing that they will make decisions that are the best balance for their life and job maximising both is part of that.”

The new, smaller office will be used as ‘conversation space’ for meetings, collaboration and events.
