Global support and care with the emphasis on our employees
We have always placed great store in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainable development, including professional development, growing professional communities, environmental stewardship, diversity and gender equality. Despite the war in Ukraine, we have been able to maintain all significant CSR projects while prioritising the safety of people and ensuring high-quality deliveries to our customers.
Our entire team, our partners and our customers have raised USD 3.8 million to support Ukraine and continue to help through our Sigma Software Unity Fund. The fund, formerly known as Help Kharkiv, was established during the early days of the war.
We continue to develop our operation and work actively to attract customers in both the United States and Europe to do business with Ukraine, which now has even greater IT potential.
Our strategy has always been to focus on people, their needs and professional development. In the face of rapid globalisation, we do this by supporting our experts with everything from financial and legal advice to healthcare and networking, irrespective of where they live. Opportunities for professional development have become even broader.
In 2022, Sigma Software became a strategic partner for a Star for Life Ukraine charity project to assist Ukrainian children who seek psychological support and wish to learn basic computer science. Over 3,000 children have already taken part in Star for Life Ukraine’s activities. The project was recognised as a highly commended CSR activity by the Corporate Engagement Awards 2023 in the UK. In addition, we were recognised by the same awards programme for four more social projects launched in 2022: Swedes for Ukraine (Gold), ‘United by Victories’ art performance in Lviv (Silver), volunteer movement (Silver) and the IT Eureka startup contest (Bronze).
The year in brief
In 2022, we increased our turnover in local currency by 38% and succeeded in strengthening our focus areas AdTech, FinTech, the automotive industry and aviation. During 2023, we have signed many contracts with new customers, many of whom are market leaders in their field, and we have opened 17 new offices in Ukraine, Europe and Latin America.
Over 300 people participated in our Sigma Software ambassadors programme, representing the company in the media and social networks and speaking at many events.
Caring for our employees remains important to us; it is their knowledge and commitment that allows us to so successfully help our customers to achieve their business goals despite the challenges of recent years. This is reflected in our high customer satisfaction rating (94%) and net promoter score (NPS, 65).
