SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Avaya Holdings Corp. (NYSE:AVYA) joins leaders in business, government
and citizens from around the world at the Global Climate Action Summit
held this week in San Francisco, CA to advance innovative environmental
projects and to affirm Avaya’s commitment to reducing emissions and
driving Global Climate Action.
Avaya is dedicated to helping customers reduce environmental impact by
designing increasingly energy efficient products and providing
cloud-based solutions and telecommunications to reduce hardware, power
and space requirements, and decrease the need for business travel. Since
2009, Avaya has successfully met its commitments to reduce carbon
dioxide emissions and reports its progress annually to CDP, formerly
known as the Carbon Disclosure Project.
“We are honored to be invited to the Global Climate Action Summit to
participate with leaders from around the world to identify environmental
impacts and actions to reduce carbon dioxide emissions,” said Sara
Broadbent, Corporate Social Responsibility Director, Avaya. “We continue
to pursue innovation and build partnerships with the objective of
reducing both our own and our customers’ emissions. We acknowledge the
value of having a seat at the table and seek to mobilize our industry to
realize the goal of mitigating climate change.”
Avaya achieved both of its goals to reduce carbon emissions based on the
“3% Solution” target developed by CDP and World Wildlife Fund.1
The company exceeded its goal to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 carbon
emissions by 14% from 2016-2017, achieving a cumulative 40% reduction
from its 2014 baseline. Avaya also reduced its Scope 3 emissions almost
20,000 mtCO2e from 2016-2017.2
The 2018
Global Climate Action Summit, hosted in San Francisco 12–14, will
bring together state and local governments, business and citizens from
around the world to showcase climate action taking place, thereby
demonstrating how the tide has turned in the race against climate change
and inspiring deeper national commitments in support of the Paris
Agreement.
