INVESTING IN THE WELL-BEING OF SOCIETY

Corporate charity

We are always ready to give a hand to people facing difficulties. Thus, the company organises fundraising campaigns and charity markets to support various philanthropic initiatives. ELEKS helps such organisations as a "Tabletochki" charity fund, the L’Arche-Kovcheh, a Lviv Geriatric Care Home and the Lviv City Children's Community Hospital. For a few years in a row, our company has participated in a charity program called “St. Nicholas will not forget you”, donating Christmas gifts to orphans in the region. In 2017, ELEKS launched a fundraising campaign to buy equipment for infant resuscitation.

Eco-friendly culture

At ELEKS, we realise the importance of being eco-minded in our daily lives. That is why, we adopt and promote environmentally-friendly habits such as energy savings, waste sorting, rational two-side printing, water utilisation, paper saving, recycling etc. Our goal is not only to leave a clean and healthy planet after us, but to restore and maintain a balance in the natural environment.

Healthy lifestyle

Our company cares about the society’s well-being and frequently becomes a partner of various initiatives that promote a healthy lifestyle and wellness. Thus, in 2016 ELEKS supported a Bike Marathon in Ivano-Frankivsk and the Biggest Morning Workout in Lviv. In 2017, the company helped create an outdoor public exercise area in Lviv as a part of a project “Communities in action” supported by the European Union. ELEKS also offers its employees an opportunity to participate in a variety of athletic activities.

ELEKS is an active member of the IT Ukraine Association and Lviv IT Cluster. We were among those who laid the foundation for the Cluster and continue to contribute to its development and growth. Moreover, ELEKS is a co-organizer of IT-Arena, the largest international IT conference in Eastern Europe.
