Founded in 1964, Averda International is a private waste management company headquartered in Dubai and operating in 34 cities globally, including Delhi, Kinshasa and London. Its major activities include waste collection and transportation as well as composting, processing, recyling and disposal. Averda has over 60,000 customers, including municipalities, businesses and households, and serves over 62 million people. The majority of its operations are in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and North Africa.
Summary
Averda performs poorly in the 2024 Urban Benchmark, with clear potential to improve its reporting on a substantial number of sustainability topics. The company discloses its three-year business strategy to create environmentally-friendly solutions for the waste sector and increase the volume of recycling. However, Averda should conduct a full materiality assessment to identify its most significant sustainability risks and opportunities and integrate these priorities into its business strategy. It should also assign clear responsibility for oversight, monitoring and implementation of its sustainability goals.
Averda discloses formal commitments to prevent corruption and respect the health and safety of workers, but lacks publicly available policy commitments to respect all human and labour rights. The company also discloses its comprehensive quality and environmental management system, which complies with international standards. However, the company’s reporting lacks information on its air pollution, energy efficiency, water quality and quality of waste services. The company should work to fill these gaps to track its overall impact on people and the planet and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
