Global provider of audio-visual integration and collaboration services, Kinly, has launched its new corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy to meet the demand from global enterprises – over half of which (53%) are struggling to find AV suppliers that can meet their ESG requirements.
That’s according to Kinly’s Trusted Connections 2024 research report, which surveyed 425 enterprise AV professionals working in the UK, Germany, Nordics and the Netherlands.
The research also found that despite the struggle to find suppliers, nearly three-quarters (70%) of enterprises agree that AV investments will be essential to their ESG strategy in 2024.
Spearheaded by Global Corporate Social Responsibility Lead, Rhea Horlock, Kinly’s new CSR strategy aims to fill this gap, intertwining sustainability, ethical practices and community engagement to provide enterprises with a supplier that aligns with their ESG goals.
Horlock was hired to develop and execute the new CSR strategy, which goes further than just managing the impact of Kinly’s operations, but also looks at how the company can influence its clients to make more sustainable decisions. With nearly half (47%) of enterprises prioritising improved sustainability and ESG targets in 2024, it’s essential that they work with partners who build solutions with sustainability front of mind.
Kinly’s ‘sustainability by design’ commitment takes a bespoke approach, selecting vendors that align with its clients’ sustainability priorities, whether they are material use, energy efficiency, e-waste or all of the above. From the configuration of a solution, through to its installation, usage and eventual disposal, the entire lifecycle is designed to have the least environmental impact possible.
