About Us

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Commitment

AVID Technical Resources’ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is our pledge as an organization to be a responsible and ethical participant in the local and the global community. We recognize that as a company, we have an impact on the world in which we live, and the people we interact with on a daily basis. Our actions impact our employees, our customers and clients, the communities in which we live and work, and the environment.  AVID’s CSR represents our commitment to operate in an economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable manner.

At AVID, we expect all of our employees to hold themselves to the highest ethical standards, and our corporate mission statement mandates that we will strive to positively impact the people we work with, the clients we work for, and the communities we live in. As an employer, we have implemented policies and taken action to drive diversity and inclusion. Our policies, practices, and decisions regarding employment, promotion, and compensation, are not based on a person’s race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, mental or physical disability, ancestry, military discharge status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, or other protected status. We strongly encourage women, people of color, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and members of the LGBTQ community to join the company and live our shared values. AVID is committed to respecting and upholding all applicable local, state, and federal laws to the best of our abilities.

Ethical Sourcing and Sustainability:

We believe that our commitment to sustainability and ethics extends beyond our own work capabilities and should include the decisions we make as a company about the partners we align with, and the products and services we buy. Our purchasing policy takes sustainability and ethical sourcing into consideration throughout all stages of the purchasing cycle, and we encourage our teams to support local and small businesses to minimize carbon footprint and support local economies. We encourage our purchasing teams to consider ethical sourcing and sustainability across all purchases, including office products and supplies, food and beverage choices, technology, hardware, and other capital equipment purchases.

Protecting the Environment:

We are very environmentally conscious at AVID.  This starts at the top with the founders’ personal and moral beliefs, and these principles have become a part of the fabric of our company.  Some of the policies we have adopted are common-sense approaches towards a greener existence, while many polices are more involved. We will always follow best practices while disposing of assets, and recycling, and seek out working facilities that strive to minimize their carbon footprint through LEED certification and other environmentally sustainable best practices.  We will aggressively promote initiatives that lead to a reduction of energy and paper consumption, and work tirelessly to reduce our carbon emissions.

Our Employees:

AVID understands the value of human relationships and that people are at the heart of our business. We seek to treat all staff equitably and fairly, to create a workplace environment that is open, accepting and transparent. We understand that our success is closely tied to our employee’s personal growth, development, and happiness, and we work to assess, measure and support the personal and professional growth of our employees at all times. As a company, AVID will always ensure that we do not risk the health and safety of our employees or our community, and we will respect the basic human rights of all people.

Diversity and Inclusion:

At AVID, we believe that supporting all people and promoting inclusion across our business and society makes the world a better place for all. We’re committed to creating a diverse and inclusive culture that helps employees know they are valued, respected and empowered to bring forward their ideas. We celebrate diversity because we believe that a rich diversity brings varied perspectives, and different perspectives often generate the best ideas.  We believe successfully inclusive workplaces begin with thoughtful hiring and recruiting processes which reduce subconscious bias in candidate selection, and result in a diverse and productive workforce.
