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
At Edvantis, supporting children in need is a key priority. We are actively involved in various charity initiatives, providing financial support and participating in volunteer activities to help improve the lives of underprivileged children.
In 2022, our initiatives included:
- In February, Edvantis collaborated with Community organization “3D – Davai Dopomozhemo Ditiam” (Let’s Help Children) to raise funds for organization of the Christmas camp for kids from orphanages. Our specialists also participated in educational and leisure activities for children to support their socialization and values development processes.
- In June, we organized two charity initiatives dedicated to this year’s Children’s Day to help kids in difficult circumstances. We have cooperated with Municipal Institution of the Lviv Regional Council — Rozdil Children’s Boarding House and Dobrodiy Club to provide kids with various necessities.
- In August, Edvantis provided orphanages and volunteering centers in Lviv with necessary electronic equipment for children to be able to receive home schooling and to continue their education through technology, that is so vital for their future.
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;
- 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.
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.
In 2022, our Mental health program covered:
- 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.
