Avaya believes in giving back to those communities where we live and work. We support charitable organizations around the world and recognize that giving back comes in many forms, including volunteer time, product donations and financial support.
Our CSR efforts in India are focused on community development through various initiatives in the best interest of the poor, deprived and marginalized populations to build a better tomorrow for society. We pursue CSR Programs primarily in areas that fall within the economic vicinity of the Company’s operations to enable close supervision and ensure maximum development impact.

Avaya has a long-standing partnership with Save the Children, a leading international humanitarian aid organization dedicated to giving children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn, and protection from harm.
