Advance Agility – Sustainability & Responsible Procurement Policy

Purpose

Sustainability management at Advance Agility is an integral part of our business operations and culture. We are committed to embedding sustainable and ethical practices across every aspect of our work — from training delivery and participant engagement to vendor partnerships and internal operations.

As a professional training and consulting organization, we recognize our responsibility to minimize environmental impact, promote social well-being, and uphold economic integrity. Through collaboration with our trainers, clients, and learners, we aim to foster a culture of responsibility and continuous improvement that supports a sustainable future for all stakeholders.

Our Sustainability Approach

We align our sustainability commitments around three key pillars:

A. People and Social Responsibility

• Foster awareness of sustainability among employees, partners, and clients through regular communication and training.
• Ensure a safe, inclusive, and motivating work environment that supports employee well-being and development.
• Promote volunteering and social contribution activities that benefit local communities.
• Uphold ethical behaviour, transparency, and integrity in all workplace and business interactions.
• Encourage trainers, consultants, and associates to integrate sustainability values into their professional practices.

B. Environmental Responsibility

• Prioritize digital processes and paperless communication wherever feasible to reduce environmental impact.
• Use energy-efficient equipment, minimize electricity and water usage, and responsibly manage e-waste.
• Prefer eco-friendly or recyclable products and materials for office and training activities.
• Encourage the use of virtual training and remote collaboration tools to minimize travel and carbon emissions.
• Comply with all applicable environmental and safety regulations.

C. Economic Responsibility and Governance

• Ensure responsible business growth by balancing profitability with environmental and social awareness.
• Maintain transparent procurement practices and work only with vendors and suppliers who share our sustainability values.
• Continuously improve operational efficiency to optimize resource usage and reduce costs.
• Implement strong governance, compliance, and risk management frameworks to ensure business continuity and resilience.
• Review sustainability performance annually to ensure relevance and improvement.
