Sustainable development has become a full part of the life of every member of our team. We work with all stakeholders on the principles of ethics and equality. We minimize environmental risks, integrate social issues into our corporate social responsibility, and implement projects that have a significant impact on society.
AVgroup experts and specialists are represented in different countries of the world, which is why we have been practicing remote work from the very beginning.
Every day we try to improve our environmental footprint, promote the well-being of employees, and practice the best level of ethical and quality service.
Corporate Sustainability of AVgroup
Our big goal is to provide independent, expert support to business, government and the public sector in implementing best practices in sustainable development.
That's why we have defined for ourselves the "three pillars" of AVgroup sustainability:
Minimize environmental, social and economic negative impacts
Promote awareness of the sustainable development of all stakeholders
Be a reliable, ethical and professional business partner
Our stakeholders
We are constantly working with internal and external stakeholder groups, all of which are defined taking into account the degree of influence of our company on a particular group and vice versa.
Employees
Experts and specialists of our company adhere to ethical norms and human rights. We care about the professional development and general well-being of everyone.
We interact with employees through e-mails, online and offline meetings, phone calls and informal meetings.
Clients
Our customers = our business partners. We build communication so that every remark and comment remains in our field of vision.
Thanks to personal meetings with company representatives, careful research of sites, social networks and media fields, we form a plan of work with clear KPIs.
The end of the project does not mean the end of communication. We communicate with our clients after completing the projects, invite them to events and provide expert support.
Contractors
Ensuring sustainable supply chains is an important element of any company that has decided to change course for sustainable development.
In our activities we try to cooperate with those contractors who promote the principles of sustainable development, meet international standards and practices. We try to translate all communication into electronic format to minimize the use of paper.
Moreover, we pay attention to the existence of policies and procedures of companies in the ESG-sphere. Whenever possible, we conduct surveys on the impact of our cooperation on their activities.
International Financial Institutions
Effective cooperation with some of the trendsetters in the industry is of great importance to us.
We constantly monitor all the news of international financial institutions so that our clients are always up to date.
We make the language of business understandable to investors, and the language of investors - for business.
We communicate through official correspondence, online events and reporting documents.
Ecosystem partners
We support Ukrainian and international initiatives aimed at community development and dissemination of best practices in sustainable development.
We interact through official correspondence, online and offline events, websites and social networks.
State and local authorities
It is one of the key players in the sector without which global sustainable development is impossible.
That is why we monitor initiatives at the state level and, if possible, join the implementation of changes at the level of countries, cities and regions.
Media
We work with printed and online editions to provide expert information on best practices of sustainable development through:
Official requests
Events
Email correspondence
Communities
Many of our projects are directly related to measuring the impact of environmental, social and economic factors on communities.
That is why we choose the most effective method of communication: online or offline, depending on the level of development of a particular region.
Regional media, bulletin boards, public hearings, etc.
Non-governmental organizations
Cooperation with public activists is very important for the formation of ecosystems.
That is why we actively monitor all initiated projects and activities of the sector and, if possible, join them.
We interact both through offline and online communication channels.
We invite all the stakeholders to cooperate!

Quality Education
The educational component of consulting is our advantage. From the first day of foundation, we follow the logic: first explain - then implement. That is why 30% of our work consists of educational sessions, trainings, and intellectual games. In 2019, we became part of the Global Reporting Initiative, so we are officially trainers for non-financial reporting. And in 2020 we joined the team to create the International Sustainable Business Academy.
Together with our ecosystem partner The Dutch Development Bank, FMO in 2020 launched the ECA Sustainability Hub - a platform for interaction between business and investors, which already covers 35 countries! Anyone can listen to the experts and discuss, as access to the platform is free.
We provide decent working conditions and competitive wages. The criteria for employment are only professionalism and relevant experience, not gender, nationality, age or other differences.
Our company is completely transparent. We do our job honestly and work only with those who share our values. Through our official activities, we contribute to the economic growth of our country and the world, because we are all just small parts of a large global mechanism.

Global Partnerships for Sustainable Development
We do our best to help businesses and organizations understand and fulfill their responsibilities, plan for the future, and improve operations in line with international standards. On the other hand, we also help MFIs and creditors to be confident in their investment decisions. These bilateral partnerships help to open new markets, enrich the world economy and find new cooperation that can contribute to a sustainable future.
We also support the trend of creating and maintaining ecosystem partnerships. That is why we are partners of the first international association of sustainability practitioners in Ukraine- Association of Sustainable Development Experts and a member of the GRI Community.
