CSR Case Catalog

Business is the foundation of a stable economy. In the difficult times Ukraine is currently experiencing due to Russia's full-scale invasion, domestic entrepreneurs are trying to support it. They are devoting significant resources to aiding the Ukrainian Armed Forces and supporting citizens.

The sustainable development expert organization CSR Ukraine has created a unique Catalog of Business Contributions to Ukraine's Victory.

It includes a list of companies that have made their regional and/or national contribution to the fight against Russian military aggression, and a description of their support cases.

• The practices of 314 companies are presented here, 227 of which are Ukrainian entrepreneurs.
• Small and medium-sized businesses are represented by 124 companies.
• 87 businesses included in the CSR Case Catalogue are representatives of the IT sector.

The main areas of Ukrainian business contributions during the war include financial and humanitarian aid, early tax payments, media support, participation in information resistance, employee assistance, and IT support.

The catalog features 18 cases of electronic services with free access. These include mobile apps for job searches and volunteering.

You can add information about your company and submit/update data to the Catalog at any time by clicking the "ADD CASE" button on the CSR Ukraine website. This feature is free of charge.

The Catalogue's partner is the national project for the development of entrepreneurship and exports, Diia.Business, which also co-organized the online project "The Long Game."
