2024 Sustainability & Impact Report: How We’re Building Tech That Matters

Sustainability & Impact Report

This isn’t one of those corporate blog posts with buzzwords and recycled phrases. We just want to tell you what we’ve actually done in 2024 at Gart Solutions — the good, the hard, and the meaningful.

Spoiler: It’s been a big year for doing things that matter.

At Gart Solutions, we believe tech should do more than work — it should do good. That’s the simple truth behind everything we’ve built this past year. Our 2024 Sustainability & Impact Report isn’t just a document — it’s a look at how we’re choosing to show up in a tough world with smart, responsible, and people-first action.

So here’s what’s really inside, no corporate fluff — just the facts, the progress, and the purpose.

Fedir Kompaniiets

“Resilience, sustainable tech, and purposeful action can be achieved at any scale.”

Fedir Kompaniiets
CEO of Gart Solutions

That’s a quote from our CEO, Fedir Kompaniiets, and it’s become our guiding principle.
We’re not a huge company, but what we do — and how we do it — has real impact. Whether it’s cutting carbon emissions, supporting displaced professionals, or building secure cloud systems, we’re intentional in every choice we make.

We’re a Ukrainian tech company. And yes, we’re 100% remote.

This part matters. Since the full-scale war began, we’ve designed our entire company around resilience and flexibility. Our team is fully remote, spread across Ukraine, the EU, and beyond.

  • 80% of us work from outside Ukraine
  • 20% remain in Kyiv, supported with power stations, backup internet, and secure workspaces
    Why? Because it keeps people safe and the work moving — no matter what.

Since day one of the war, we’ve kept our team safe, our clients supported, and our tech running — not just because it’s our job, but because it’s the right thing to do.

And this report shows that we’re serious about more than just code and clouds. We care about people, the planet, and making tech actually useful.

Our commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

In 2024, we officially joined the UN Global Compact, which means we’ve committed to aligning our work with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals — a global blueprint for peace, prosperity, and sustainability.

UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals

Here’s where we’re making an impact:

  • Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being
    We support digital health projects and provide mental health access for our team.
  • Goal 5: Gender Equality
    40% of our leadership team are women. We’re working to grow representation in tech too.
  • Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
    70% of our infrastructure now runs on carbon-neutral cloud platforms.
  • Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
    We offer stable jobs, upskill our team, and pay taxes in Ukraine to strengthen the local economy.
  • Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
    We help clients optimize cloud infrastructure and reduce energy waste.
  • Goal 13: Climate Action
    Our tech helps save around 25 tons of CO₂ per year, and we’re targeting 50 tons by 2026.
  • Goal 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
    From supporting civic tech to donating equipment to defense initiatives, we back Ukraine’s democratic resilience.
  • Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals
    We actively work with nonprofits, civic organizations, and global partners to scale our impact.

Business continuity” isn’t just a buzzword for us — it’s a reality we’ve lived since day one of the war. Here’s what powers our day-to-day operations:
