Responsible business

Our vision is to advance the world through the power of people and Microsoft, and that means we’re committed to being responsible in everything we do.

Being responsible for our people 

Our commitment to inclusion and diversity

Avanade has pursued a deliberate and purpose-driven strategy around inclusion, diversity and well-being since our founding in 2000. We know that if our inclusive culture doesn’t consider all races, gender identities, sexual orientations, disabilities, ages, religions—all people and all phases of life—it falls short.

Together we break free from prejudice

How do we create workplaces where everyone feels like they belong? Rune Sterten Marhaug shares why it’s important to defy prejudices and recognize people’s full potential.

Being responsible for our clients

Transforming organizations through digital innovation

As the world’s leading innovator on the Microsoft platform, Avanade equips clients with the tools, technology and expertise they need to not only meet their environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals, but make a positive impact for generations to come.


We help our clients tackle climate change and reduce their carbon footprint with specialized solutions for tracking and reporting emissions. And thanks to our experience as an early innovator on AI, we’re providing organizations with a roadmap to ethical AI adoption so they can transform their business rapidly and responsibly.


Our clients know a more sustainable world is within reach. Together, we can create the future with confidence.

Excellence in global sustainability

Acknowledging our achievement of the EcoVadis Gold Medal

As a purpose-driven and responsible business, we are honored to hold a Gold Medal for our sustainability performance from EcoVadis, a global leader in business sustainability assessments. This achievement places us in the top 5% of all companies rated globally in 2024, further enabling us to equip our clients with the tools, technology, and expertise they need to meet their ESG goals.

Digital sustainability

Enabling greener technology and operations

Using the power of people and the Microsoft ecosystem, we help organizations harness data to report emissions reductions and digital technologies, turning ambitious sustainability goals into practical actions. Our digital sustainability expertise empowers businesses to achieve data-driven emissions reductions, leading the way toward a greener and more sustainable future.

Tech for Social Good

Empowering nonprofits with digital technology

Through our Tech for Social Good initiative, we work with nonprofits and non-governmental agencies to deepen their impact, tackle complex issues and plan for the future via affordable, scalable technology solutions. Since the program’s inception, Avanade has helped more than 75 nonprofit clients like UNICEF, International Federation of Red Cross (IFRC), the International Rescue Committee and World Health Organization modernize and expand with digital technologies, including generative AI.

Green Software Foundation

Reducing the global carbon footprint of software

Avanade is proud to be a steering committee member of the Green Software Foundation, a nonprofit working to minimize the carbon emissions produced by software. By shaping an ecosystem of people, tooling and best practices for creating green software, the Green Software Foundation helps ensure that sustainability is a top priority for software developers around the world.

Responsible AI and digital ethics

We’ve spent nearly a decade working at the forefront of generative AI alongside Microsoft—and now we’re using that experience to help clients unlock the value of AI ethically and responsibly.
