Corporate Social Responsibility
Empower your people to work better together and create a more sustainable tomorrow.
At Kinly, we know that the biggest and most positive impact we can have lies in enabling your business to become as sustainable as possible. We also know we have a duty to make sure we are operating our own organisation responsibly. This is why we are focused on being the most sustainable business we can be, while ensuring the solutions we deliver help you realise your environmental and social ambitions.
Our global teams are unified by a passion for sustainability. We hold several accreditations across the regions in which we operate - including EcoVadis, ISO 14001 and Eco-Lighthouse - and collectively, we are aiming to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Our commitment is underpinned by our unique sustainability by design approach to AV integration, as well as our pledge to reduce our footprint, create more inclusive careers and tackle digital exclusion. All this works to ensure we prioritise sustainable and futureproof technology that works for your people, and for the planet.
Sustainability is integral to our success
As well as supporting our customers with their ESG goals, we are committed to improving our own operations. We want to create a better future by using three guiding pillars to support the planet, our people and our communities.
47 per cent of AV professionals say sustainability targets are high priority for the next 12-months
74 per cent believe sustainability is a critical success factor in an AV transformation project.
Despite this, over 50 per cent are struggling to find an AV supplier that meets their needs.

Three pillars
Integrate sustainability into every part of your journey with Kinly. From solution configuration, through to installation, usage and disposal, we help you meet your CSR goals and create a better future by using three guiding pillars to support our clients, the community and the planet.
Reducing footprint
We operate a sustainable and responsible business fit for the future. By engaging the supply chain and driving positive change, we can eliminate carbon emissions, reduce waste and improve the environment, one step at a time.
Creating inclusive careers
We want to ensure that everyone has access to careers in the technology sector. With a focus on increasing awareness within our business and beyond, we are committed to improving representation, driving development and creating new opportunities for all.
Tackling digital exclusion
Using our skills and expertise, we are making the digital world more inclusive and accessible. Our global people are focused on empowering individuals through improved education, reducing isolation and helping people to connect for better social outcomes.
Sustainability by design
Support your teams and the world around us by planning for sustainability from the outset. The first step in our process is to understand your business goals. This can include anything from emissions reductions goals, and net-zero targets, through to commitments on plastic and waste to landfill.
We then break your solution down into four key areas where you can make the most positive environmental and social differences. This is all backed up with continuous reporting to ensure you capitalise on every available opportunity to improve sustainability.
Product selection
Adopt an ethical approach to product specification. We work with vendors that use recycled materials, have strategies to reduce manufacturing impacts, provide carbon offsetting opportunities, don’t use conflict minerals or work in areas with human rights concerns.
Installation and logistics
Minimise the environmental impact of your installation and maximise the social benefit. We use low carbon transportation, work with recyclable or reusable materials, employ local people to reduce travel, and create social value through job opportunities and community engagement.
Usage and optimisation
Get the most from your estate usage data. After a solution is installed, we can implement occupancy sensors to see when spaces are being used, switch off energy when they’re unoccupied and monitor your full estate remotely to identify areas where consumption can be reduced.
End of life
Plan for a sustainable future. For equipment in working order, we help you repurpose it in your estate or donate it to a charitable cause. If equipment cannot be repurposed, our partners operate takeback schemes, ensuring it is responsibly broken down for component reuse or recycling.
Reporting on impact
Meet your ESG reporting requirements. We understand the frameworks you are aligned to, so we provide you with all the data you need to measure the environmental and social impacts of design decisions taken at every stage of the sustainability by design process.
