Sustainability: Avenga ESG Leadership and Governance

Our Values

Our Values

Brighter Minds

We’re thinkers, learners, and problem-solvers. Our minds stay sharp because we’re constantly evolving—individually and together. We bring clarity to complexity and keep raising the bar, project by project.

Our Values

Bigger Hearts

We lead with empathy, listen with intention, and act with integrity. People matter to us—clients, colleagues, and communities. Strong relationships are the foundation of everything we build, and we take pride in being a force for good.

Our Values

Bolder Ideas

Boldness begins with you. We believe in taking initiative, thinking for ourselves, and leading from where we stand. Bolder ideas come when we have the courage to challenge assumptions, take responsibility, and push beyond the obvious—always in pursuit of better outcomes.

Message from Our Leaders

At Avenga, we believe that long-term success goes hand in hand with our responsibility to the environment, society, and governance. We are committed to creating value not only for our shareholders but for all stakeholders — including our communities and the planet. By embedding sustainability into our core business strategy, we aim to drive innovation, reduce our environmental footprint, and make a positive contribution to society. Together with our dedicated team, we are focused on building a future where sustainability and growth go hand in hand.

Ludovic Gaude, CEO

Our commitment to environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and transparent governance is at the core of our mission. Through continuous innovation, waste reduction, and the promotion of diversity and inclusion, we are actively addressing some of today’s most pressing global challenges. We are dedicated to embedding sustainability into every decision we make — not only to meet the needs of today, but also to preserve resources and opportunities for future generations.

Sustainable Development Goals

We are proud to be a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact, an international initiative that commits us to upholding its ten principles and supporting the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As part of this commitment, we have identified six of the 17 SDGs that are most relevant to the Avenga Group’s core sustainability priorities.

Environmental Responsibility

We act responsibly toward the environment and support the communities in which we operate. Our journey toward environmental responsibility began in 2022, when we published our first non-financial report.

Tracking Suppliers’ Responsibility

We are not indifferent to the carbon footprint of our suppliers, which is why we are interested in their approach to sustainability. We find this out using our ESG questionnaire.

Social Responsibility

We view social responsibility as a core part of our identity, a competitive advantage, and—most importantly—a driving force behind every innovation. Our ambition is to be a responsible and transparent company that upholds the highest ethical standards. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination, whether as an employer or in our role as a business partner to the broader community.

Diversity at Our Core

At Avenga, we value diversity as a key strength. Our workplace culture is built on respecting individual differences, empowering employees to be themselves and freely express their opinions. We focus on the following areas of diversity:

• Supporting parents at work and employees returning from parental leave.
• Promoting employee work-life balance.
• Advancing women in leadership roles.
• Encouraging age diversity by welcoming multiple generations—students, trainees, and employees aged 50+.
• Extending the active working life by supporting employees at different life stages, including flexibility and mobility for those aged 50 and above.
• Facilitating the entry and inclusion of young people into the labor market.
• Recruiting expatriate employees across countries and continents.

Governance

Avenga Governance Manifest

We select our candidates based on their qualities and expertise, regardless of gender or other social categories. We take pride in our diverse teams, which include women and men, young and elderly individuals, people of various nationalities, individuals with disabilities, working parents, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and people of different religious beliefs, faiths, and cultures. Internal promotions and development opportunities are equally accessible to all employees.

In all our activities, we adhere strictly to binding legislative and regulatory requirements at both regional and international levels. The key principles and provisions guiding us are outlined in Avenga’s ESG policy, which applies across the entire Avenga Group worldwide.

In addition to this policy, we have established a comprehensive ESG governance structure throughout the Avenga Group. We have also voluntarily joined international initiatives focused on sustainable development.

Ethics and Compliance

Our compliance program has been developed at the highest group level (KKCG Group) and implemented to ensure full adherence to all applicable laws and regulations, while conducting our day-to-day business ethically. The program includes policies addressing:

• Prevention of bribery and corruption, facilitation payments, gifts, and hospitality.
• Anti-money laundering and prevention of terrorist financing, including know-your-customer. principles and screening against sanction lists.
• Conflicts of interest.
• Rules for charitable contributions and political donations.
• Prevention of discrimination.
• Whistleblowing.
• Fair competition and other compliance topics.
• Personal data protection.

Avenga Code of Conduct

Democracy, the rule of law, and human rights are interconnected and mutually reinforcing pillars of human dignity. Respect for international law and justice forms the foundation of human rights protection. At Avenga, safeguarding human rights is integral to all our activities. Our inclusive approach to fair and equal treatment of all employees is enshrined in our Code of Ethics, which prohibits discrimination and promotes equal opportunities for everyone.

Responsible Purchasing

The effective management of supplier relationships, including their screening and the establishment of long-term cooperation, is governed by our Group policy.

This policy clearly defines the specific responsibilities of our employees involved in tenders, negotiations with suppliers, and the ordering of goods and services. Adherence to these rules ensures transparency and accountability throughout the supplier selection process, while also enabling a thorough assessment of risks related to supplier engagement.

Supplier screening is conducted in accordance with third-party risk management protocols to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and market standards. This includes the prevention of money laundering and fraud, counter-terrorist financing measures, cybersecurity requirements, and the evaluation of suppliers’ financial stability.
