Avaya’s Environmental, Social, And Governance
Strategy — Creating Better Experiences Worldwide
Avaya believes that we have a responsibility to help create better
experiences not only for our customers, but also for our employees
and the global community. To that end, we have developed our
environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy to align with
the priorities of our employees and stakeholders.
How We Developed our ESG Strategy
We started by assessing environmental, social, and governance
topics, taking into account recent political, economic, and cultural
shifts that alter the way people live and work. After evaluating
a range of topics, we created a survey that we distributed to
employees, customers, distributors, suppliers, and partners, asking
them to rank the importance of topics.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development, adopted by all United
Nations Member States in 2015, provides
a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity
for people and the planet, now and into the
future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs), which are an
urgent call for action by all countries —
developed and developing — in a global
partnership.
We found that governance issues were the highest priority to both Reeva Kymer
our employees and our stakeholders, followed closely by several Director ESG & Philanthropy
environmental and social issues. With this in mind, we developed Avaya
an ESG strategy that focuses on doing the right thing for all our
stakeholders. Learn more in our 2021 Corporate Responsibility
Report.
