Being responsible for our people
A people-first approach
At Avanade, our people are our greatest strength. Every day, our 60,000 professionals make a genuine human impact for our clients, their employees and their customers.
We strive to offer a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone can achieve the full scope of their potential, whether that means taking advantage of flexible working hours and arrangements, furthering their skills through learning development or joining an employee network to help elevate the voices of underrepresented communities.
Doing the work of a responsible business starts from within. Because when you invest in your people, they’re equally prepared to invest in the world around them.

Readying our people for the future
We’re proud to offer a wide range of learning resources that help Avanade employees uphold our responsible business commitments, including certifications like the Green Software for Practitioners exam.
Building transparency and accountability with responsible AI
We know AI is already transforming the way we work, live and do business. As we embrace these opportunities, it’s crucial to keep digital ethics and responsibility at the forefront of our AI usage.
That’s why we’ve launched the Avanade School of AI, a series of training sessions aimed at equipping employees with the skills they need to navigate an AI-first world—from prompt engineering and generative AI to understanding Avanade’s Responsible AI framework.

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.
