AVI-SPL Unifies European Operations to Strengthen Enterprise Delivery
View moreTampa, FL — January 29, 2026 — At Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026 next week, AVI-SPL, the leading global provider of digital enablement solutions, will expand on its evolving climate strategy, highlighting two interconnected actions that reflect a new, enterprise-scale approach to sustainability in the AV and IT integration industry: a commitment to set Science Based Targets (SBTs) and a UN-aligned REDD+ investment in rainforest conservation in Ecuador.
These actions represent a single, integrated climate strategy in motion. One focused on systematically reducing emissions across AVI-SPL’s operations and value chain as the business grows, and the other focused on protecting critical natural ecosystems that regulate the global climate and support Indigenous communities.
“This isn’t a pledge. It’s a strategy,” said Tim Riek, Chief Strategy Officer at AVI-SPL. “We believe leadership today means taking responsibility for the full impact of our business. We’re a company designed to grow responsibly and operate transparently on a global scale. That means reducing our environmental footprint in line with global best practices and protecting the natural systems that sustain the planet and the communities we serve.”
A Holistic, Credible Approach to Climate Action
AVI-SPL’s commitment to set Science Based Targets establishes a rigorous, globally recognized framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions across its operations and value chain. At the same time, its REDD+ investment in Ecuador supports the protection of one of the world’s most important carbon sinks and biodiversity hotspots, while also strengthening local and Indigenous stewardship.
Together, these actions reflect a holistic approach to environmental responsibility. Emissions reduction without addressing nature of risk is incomplete. Investing in nature without reducing emissions is insufficient. AVI-SPL is intentionally doing both.
This isn’t offsetting. It’s contributing. It’s a climate strategy built on integrity, balance, and long-term impact. “For us, this is about doing the right thing, not just the required thing,” said Kelly Bousman, Senior Vice President of ESG and Sustainability at AVI-SPL. “Setting Science Based Targets is how we’ll hold ourselves accountable to real, measurable progress. Investing in rainforest conservation is about recognizing our responsibility to the communities and ecosystems that make life and work possible. Together, these actions reflect who we are as a company and how we intend to lead, with care, with integrity, and with a long-term view.”
Why This Matters Now
The AV and IT integration industry sits at the intersection of rapid digital transformation, rising energy demand, and increasingly complex global supply chains. At the same time, customers, partners, and employees want to see credible, measurable, transparent climate leadership.
AVI-SPL’s approach is designed to meet this moment by embedding environmental responsibility directly into how the business operates, scales, and serves global customers.
Leading the Category Forward
AVI-SPL is among a small group of global technology companies taking this level of action by pairing SBTi-aligned target setting with high-integrity, UN-aligned nature-based solutions. The company is also actively engaging its preferred partners to advance product-level carbon footprint data and improve the accuracy, transparency, and usefulness of sustainability data across the value chain.
This work is not about compliance. It is about resilience, innovation, and leadership. “These actions are designed to scale with our business, not constrain it,” Riek added. “Sustainability is not a side initiative for us. It is part of how we build trust, deliver value, and lead our industry forward.”
