Diversity and Inclusion champions

Diversity and inclusion

AVENIR GLOBAL is committed to diversity and inclusion. We work together with all our brands to help educate, empower and celebrate people across our network.

We know that collectively, our unique experiences give us greater insight into the world around us.

When our curiosity is fuelled and our voices are heard, we are all inspired to do greater thinking.

Social investment

We encourage employees to undertake pro bono work through the donation of communication counsel and services for not-for-profit organizations on behalf of the Firm. We also make financial contributions to not-for-profit organizations in communities where we operate, and encourage employees to make financial contributions. We recognize employees for their pro bono work by incorporating this aspect into annual performance evaluations.

Environmental performance

We work to minimize the Firm’s environmental impact, specifically by reducing our direct paper and water consumption, recycling, conserving energy and procuring environmentally responsible goods and services. Local green committees are responsible for implementing environmental programs and monitoring our performance on an annual basis. The Firm encourages clients to integrate environmental concerns into their business and communications practices and counsels them to minimize their environmental impact in all their communication efforts.

Net zero commitment

In 2023, our four brands across Europe and the Middle East—AXON, Cherry, Hanover, and Madano—conducted an independent, comprehensive assessment of their carbon footprint. They committed to making meaningful reductions in emissions by 2030, and to reaching net zero emissions by 2040.
