An overview of our local community projects
At Go Wombat, we recognise and honour the importance and value of giving back to our local community. While we are convinced that our professional story is just in its early stages, we feel that it's our responsibility to set and adhere to the highest standards of corporate citizenship early on.
Our team is committed to doing the right thing, behaving ethically in any scenario, and giving back through activities like community service, environmental work, and other forms of philanthropic work.

"We firmly believe that the number of clients and revenue are not the only measuring sticks we should use to evaluate success.
At a certain point, we realised that we could also start contributing to society and giving back to the community. As business owners, it's our responsibility to grow, shed outdated approaches, and find new ways to do business that have a positive impact beyond profits - this is the company of the present and the future"
As a technology company, innovation is always at the forefront of everything we do. Nevertheless, we also understand that outstanding achievements are only possible with a clear idea and a team of dedicated individuals.
This is the reason why our company culture is built on people above all else, along with having a positive economic impact, protecting our sovereignty, and planting the seeds for positive environmental change.
Great things come from humble beginnings, and every business starts with people.
Thus, our commitment in this corporate world is the development of the most capable team in all senses. We believe that every Wombat should think not only about doing a great job, but also about personal development and contribution to the future.
Go Wombat started as a group of good friends in a small room looking for clients.
Our company has grown significantly since, adding skilled individuals and thriving financially along the way. Today, we have 100+ team members including developers, project managers, cybersecurity engineers, and other specialists that contribute to our success.
We bring victory closer through joint efforts against invaders.
Part of our company's income is regularly transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, plus we've made various donations to help our brothers in arms on the frontline. Our plan is to continue supporting our troops until we've successfully defended our sovereignty.
We believe in the shared responsibility of protecting our environment.
This is the reason why we have implemented a few initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint, including a paperless approach, a hybrid work setup, and a program to give our equipment a second life. Our goal is to add more environmental proposals in the near future.

in donations since 2019Below, we'll take a closer look at some of our corporate social responsibility initiatives, including our botanical garden contributions, donations to the Ukrainian army, and other community work at various scales.
Two other environmental activities we would like to highlight are our "bug hotels" that we have built all on our own. One of them is located in Dnipro's Botanical Garden. You can find the other bug hotel in Ivano-Frankivsk, in the city's local cultural park.
These bug hotels are miniature habitats that are engineered to attract and support endemic bugs. The various insects that are attracted have a positive impact on the local environment.
The Dnipro Aquarium is one of the largest facilities of its type in Europe. Here you can find unique species of freshwater fish. However, the lack of proper funding makes the full functioning of the aquarium impossible.
Our company does its best to support the Aquarium and provide the required equipment and supplies. We consider preserving such a valuable facility crucial for developing Ukraine's scientific potential.
The Botanical Garden's plant collection is a precious national treasure, and its plant varieties exceed 3,500. Today, it is not only an environmental facility, but also a perfect place to spend time in the ecological corner of the city that, in turn, demands additional funding and support.
We have been friends of the Botanical Garden for several years already. Wombats often visit to bring essential items and equipment to it, or to simply be at one with nature.
Since its inception, Go Wombat has participated in various volunteer programs for the military. However, our focus shifted in this direction after the invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. Our partners and clients from other countries have also contributed to these volunteer activities.
We invest resources into and provide support for the troops that are bravely defending our great nation of Ukraine from its invaders.
Achieving change in our immediate community and society as a whole requires an ongoing effort. Even after our goals have been met, we understand that maintaining strong bonds with one another requires constant effort.
This is why we are committed to the continuous improvement of our community through the delivery of quality software and the organisation of social projects across our various offices.
