CSR Strategy for 2020 and beyond

Among the strategic goals of Infopulse for the coming years we aim to continue developing affordable and high-quality IT education in Ukraine, to facilitate technical transformation at all levels, to further reinforce our environmental protection efforts, and to continue developing our volunteering activities. As for 2020, one of the current priorities of social responsibility is to provide a proper response to today’s challenges: preserving the health of medical professionals, supporting a healthcare system, to maintain the health of our professionals and return to the normal mode of operation with the lowest effect of the latest events on our and our clients’ businesses.

The course of events caused by COVID-19 affected all aspects of our life and business, and we found ourselves in a situation of great uncertainty. However, one thing remains unchanged: Infopulse is a team that creates the future together with our specialists, clients, and partners. Our strength is in the diversity of our views and common principles that we follow every day. Business development, organizational, professional, and personal development come from the core values we live by at Infopulse: involvement, openness, flexibility, and innovation.
