Corporate Social Responsibility at Edvantis
At Edvantis, we believe that every small step helps us cover incredible distances.
That’s why every day we do everything we can to improve the lives of those close to us and make the communities we live in a better place.
Our Impact on Community Involvement and Development
Helping Children
Helping Our Country
Our strength lies in unity! That is why, during the full-scale war, Edvantis and our specialists are constantly supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and humanitarian initiatives. All this time, we have been providing fuel for humanitarian aid carriers and established the delivery of humanitarian aid and medicines from Nice on a regular basis. We also:
- Purchased and delivered equipment to the frontlines — 50 thermal imagers, 22 drones, 3 Starlink systems with subscriptions;
- Hosted a fundraising campaign in the US — more than 2000 bulletproof vests, 100 Kevlar helmets;
- Organized a shelter in the office for refugees who need hemodialysis — 80 people;
- Helped equip a shelter for patients from the Kharkiv psychiatric hospital — more than 200 people.
What we have already managed to do:
The Stabilization Fund
Edvantis hosts a Stabilization foundation, sustained by employees’ contributions. Money is then used to purchase equipment and provide financial assistance to AFU.
Donations and Volunteering Activities
In addition, our specialists also raise funds for the army support and various volunteering activities to help compatriots who find themselves in a difficult situation due to war.
Our Impact on Cultivating
Good Labor Practices
Psychological Support for Our Employees
There has been a war in our country for almost half a year now, and each of us reacts differently to the circumstances. Aiming to take care of the emotional state of our specialists, we have launched the Mental Health Program divided into two parts.
The first part is a series of webinars ‘Emotions amidst the War’ where Edvantis people had a chance to talk to renowned Ukrainian psychotherapists about their mental and emotional problems caused by the Russian invasion.
The second part includes individual consultations for all specialists with psychologists.
- 4 “Emotions amidst the War” webinars with psychotherapists
- 4 individual psychological consultations for all specialists per year
Cultivation of a New Generation of Specialists
As part of our efforts to promote the IT industry, we help individuals who strive to enter the tech workforce but need additional guidance. We have a lot to be proud of because this year we’ve hosted our second internship launch.
During the monthly course, students and Junior Developers gained the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical cases at our Python and React Internships.
Thanks to the help of our mentors, the participants gained valuable experience, and those who showed the best results got a great opportunity to join the company’s projects.
Our Support of Human Rights
At Edvantis, we work to create the respectful working environment for all our people.
To ensure this, we are following two important principles:
Equal Opportunities and Anti-Discrimination
We believe in fostering an environment of diversity and equality by respecting people for who they are and ensuring that there is no discrimination, abuse, or harassment.
We encourage Edvantis specialists to not participate in any of the below-mentioned actions:
- Physical contact, remarks, or gestures that are unwelcome

German-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry

From now on, we will be able to take an even more active role in forging tighter economic ties between Germany and Ukraine.
