The values of DataArt and the UN Sustainable Development Goals have become the basis for DataArt's social and environmental program. The company strives to have a positive impact on three areas: people, society, and the environment. It is committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion among candidates and colleagues.
Diversity. The company wants to create a comfortable environment for colleagues from all genders and ethnicities, abilities and disabilities, religions, cultures, ages, sexual orientations, backgrounds and experiences, skills, and expertise.
Equal rights. DataArt hires people only based on professional competence. It provides equal opportunities for professional growth and development. The company promotes awareness and shares knowledge and best practices for preventing discrimination in the workplace and business relationships.

In 2021, Dmytro Deliiev, a business analyst and founder of the NGO Tvii Lis (Your Forest), whose mission is to encourage businesses and people to donate to tree planting, joined the DataArt team. The values of DataArt and the NGO completely coincided. So, the company joined the initiative by allocating money for the purchase of seedlings and organizing corporate tree planting in different regions of Ukraine.
In 2022 and 2023, the company planted 183,000 new trees across 175 hectares in Ukraine. The initiative covered the Shatsk National Nature Park, Kremenets Mountains National Nature Park, Petrykivka Forestry, and Ichnia National Nature Park.
In 2023, the joint initiative grew into an international initiative called DataArt Forest. Ukrainian colleagues were joined by teams from Poland and Armenia.
The DataArt team works in 30+ offices in more than 20 countries. Everyone can work remotely from different parts of the world. In Ukraine, there are offices in Kharkiv, Odesa, Dnipro, and Lviv, as well as several coworking spaces in Kyiv, Kremenchuk, and Vinnytsia.
The company is as flexible as possible regarding the place of work. Ukrainian colleagues can work in any DataArt office or coworking space in Ukraine, remotely, or relocate to another city or country if they wish (according to the company's internal policies and by prior agreement with the team).
Colleagues are free to furnish their workplaces to their liking, as long as it does not disturb others or damage the property of the landlord. Guests and pets are welcome in the office (but only in the countries where it’s permitted and if colleagues have no allergies).
DataArt offices are equipped with workstations, meeting rooms, recreation areas with game consoles, table football or tennis, and coffee machines and kitchens where people can enjoy fresh coffee and tea, fruits, and sweets.
During the wartime in Ukraine, the company equipped its Ukrainian offices with generators and Starlinks. In the event of danger, these offices turn into “points of invincibility” for colleagues and their families. During the blackouts, specialists working remotely from different cities in Ukraine received payments to buy generators and equip their home workplaces with uninterrupted communications.
DataArt asks its colleagues to make sure to take real rest during vacations and official holidays, in accordance with the laws of their countries. Despite the fact that holidays and non-working days are canceled in Ukraine because of martial law, the company continues to provide colleagues with these days off.
The company provides up to 10 days of sick leave per year without medical certificates, and then extra according to the laws of the country where the colleague lives. In addition, DataArt provides insurance policies for colleagues and offers affordable policies to their relatives.
The company takes care not only of the physical but also of the mental health of its team. As part of the Helpline project, everyone can get up to 10 free sessions with a professional psychotherapist. Moreover, there are Helpline volunteers, who have undergone special training and have a psychological education and/or extensive experience in HR.
