Our Approach to CSR
Sustainable development and corporate social responsibility are the basis of our work, our policies and practices, and the way we make decisions daily. We strive to follow two main principles:
Make the world a better place. We conduct our business in a way that ensures a better world for future generations.
Avoid negative impact. We have defined the areas where the company's activities may have a negative impact on society, and we do our best to eliminate this impact.

Principles
Trusted Partner
We see our mission as providing high-quality services to our clients around the world and to help them achieve their business and sustainability goals.
We strive to provide clients with premier quality services. To this end, we expand our offer and master new technologies in order to suffice the ever-changing environment and clients’ needs including environmental and social performance.
Regardless of the circumstances, we do everything in our power to keep our commitments and obligations, and our clients value that giving us 95-98% scores of satisfaction in yearly surveys.
Equal Opportunities and DEI
Sigma Software is committed to breaking down barriers rooted in prejudice. Diversity of our workforce has been steadily increasing over the years, as we take systematic actions to create beneficial conditions for specialists of any age, gender, and beliefs.
We are especially attentive to the gender balance since historically women are less prone to choose a career in IT, especially as engineers. At Sigma Software we have 35% of women as opposed to the average of 25% in the industry, while in the management, we have about 50% women. In tech and engineering positions in our company, women score 19%.
The company aims to eliminate discrepancies in wages, constantly monitors the state of the market, and offers decent wages depending on professional level and experience, regardless of gender or any other characteristics. Sigma Software ensures gender equality regarding conditions and opportunities (including compensation, working hours, work-life balance, insurance, holidays and weekends, parental leave, mechanisms for protection against bullying and harassment, etc.).
To celebrate women’s leadership and expertise in tech, we joined the Femmegineering project in 2021. The project aims to highlight females in the tech industry by sharing their experiences with girls considering a career in tech.
Employee Success and Well-being
Sigma Software strives to create a favorable corporate climate that encourages creativity and develops the potential of our employees. We strive to create and maintain a culture of openness where everyone’s duties and efforts are valued equally.
Our global strategy is to support each employee in their endeavors, show development options, and celebrate employees’ success together.
A smart work-life balance gives our experts an opportunity to fulfill their goals. We strive to create a healthy, open, and safe environment for all employees that nurtures a dedication to work and pride in what they do. Sigma Software provides everyone with opportunities to stay fit and healthy through medical care programs, sports events, mental health support, medical insurance, and other wellness activities.
IT Education Development
We aim to provide our specialists with every possibility for personal growth and professional development through our corporate continuous education program.
In 2016, we launched a platform called Sigma Software University to strengthen IT education at every stage: from supporting educational programs for children to cooperating with universities and courses for experienced IT professionals.
We cooperate with 40+ universities and educational centers in Ukraine and globally, open IT labs in universities and colleges, and support student events and contests.
Tech Ecosystem Development
Sigma Software Group consistently contributes to the development of the global tech community, connecting people, companies, and ecosystems.
Why do we think this is important? For us, it’s about shaping the future. By sharing knowledge, collaborating with diverse talent, and fostering innovation on a global scale, we not only stay at the forefront of technology but also play a pivotal role in advancing the industry as a whole. We foster the growth, education, and adaptability that is essential for success and sustainability in today’s interconnected world.
Our contributions benefit society by driving progress and solving some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
It’s a win-win for Sigma Software Group and the global technology ecosystem.
Responsible Citizen
We do care about the countries we live and operate in, and we strive to coexist harmoniously with the society around us. We remain involved in community-related issues and activities. Our team contributes to the improvement and development of society through solutions we deliver for everyday life, sports, science, education, and industry.
Through more than 20 professional associations of which Sigma Software is a member, the company participates in projects aimed at rebuilding the country and its infrastructure after the Russian invasion. This establishes a dialogue with the government to ensure favorable conditions for the development of the industry and attract investment while developing IT education and strengthening synergies between different companies.
Building a whole IT ecosystem instead of separate and competing lines ensures the development and beneficial support for all businesses, whether small or large, products or services.
Created in February 2022, Sigma Software Unity Fund supports both the Army and civilians.
Supporting Ethical Business Conduct
Sigma Software is committed to upholding high standards of ethical business conduct in every country where we operate.
To support this commitment, we have implemented a Whistleblower Protection Policy that applies to current and former employees, freelancers, interns, contractors, candidates, and others who have or had work-related affairs with Sigma Software.
This policy ensures a safe and structured process for reporting wrongdoings that may create a threat or harm to the public interest. It enables us to address concerns swiftly and effectively.
Protecting the Environment
We recognize that our environmental impact, especially in terms of carbon emissions, lies not only with our operation but also with the performance of our products. To address the issue, we devote our R&D to introducing digitalization and energy-efficient approaches to providing our services and products. We strive to become a green service provider for our clients.
Our company aims to contribute to the solution of critical environmental issues and clean tech growth. We aim to develop our portfolio of such projects and empower the clients and partners with our tech solutions. We continuously review and improve our own environmental performance and operations to increase resource efficiency and reduce the pressure on the environment.
Following the company`s Go Green Strategy, which complies with laws and regulations as well as voluntary best standards, we ensure that our workplaces become an awareness-raising and inspiring place for our employees. In cooperation with local environmental NGOs, we foster behavior change at the personal, family, and community levels.
