Encourage Devoteamers Citizenship through Devoteam Foundation
Devoteam Foundation’s program #TechforPeople aims to support associations and social entrepreneurs in their digital strategy through the commitment of our people.
This program encourages consultants to discover social innovation, accompany associations, non-profits, and non-governmental organisations, and inspire social entrepreneurs through different engagement formats.
- Pro Bono work: to help non-profitable associations define their needs around tech and offer our support to imply their technical transformation plans.
- #TechForPeople Labs: a 3-hour multidisciplinary workshop where a mix of Devoteam experts support an association with suggested solutions to solve a technical challenge or issue.

Our Purpose
The power of imagination helps everyone to realise the true potential of change. We believe that the way to achieve that is through a creative mindset – being agile, innovative, sharing knowledge, and working cross-functionally. In our vision, tech for people is not only about answering business challenges but about making positive changes on a much broader scale:
- Increase adaptability and creativity;
- Improve business profitability and efficiency;
- Providing our employees with an enriching environment to grow, including diverse and unexpected career paths;
- Generate a more sustainable society to ensure a better future for all of us.
In line with this very ambitious vision, we have the mission to empower clients to imagine and realise better change. We inspire our customers to transform their businesses by fusing creativity and leading tech and strategy.

FAQ
What is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)?
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is more than just a buzzword; it’s a vital practice that plays a critical role in how businesses interact with society. The principles of Corporate Social Responsibility refer to a company’s efforts to manage its business processes in a way that produces an overall positive impact on society. The idea behind CSR is simple: companies should not only focus on profitability but also on their broader impact on the world. As businesses have grown more influential globally, the need for responsible corporate behaviour has become increasingly essential.
What are the pillars of Corporate Social Responsibility?
At the base of the Corporate Social Responsibility pyramid is:
- Social Responsibility: Involves companies taking action to support communities, such as through charitable donations, volunteering, or programs to promote diversity and inclusion within the workplace.
- Environmental Responsibility: Focuses on reducing environmental footprints, such as minimising waste, reducing emissions, and investing in sustainable practices.
- Economic Responsibility: Pertains to maintaining high standards of corporate governance, transparent financial reporting, and balancing profit-making with a positive societal impact.
How can Corporate Social Responsibility benefit my business?
Adopting a strong CSR strategy has several advantages for businesses. First and foremost, CSR helps improve brand reputation. In a world where consumers are more aware of corporate ethics, companies that demonstrate genuine CSR efforts often enjoy stronger customer loyalty. For instance, brands that actively invest in environmental sustainability often attract eco-conscious consumers.
Moreover, CSR also plays a key role in attracting and retaining talent. Employees increasingly prefer to work for companies that align with their values, particularly those that prioritise social and environmental responsibility. In fact, research shows that businesses with strong CSR reputations tend to have higher employee satisfaction and retention rates.
Building trust with stakeholders—customers, investors, employees, and the wider community—is another crucial benefit. A solid CSR approach can enhance stakeholder relations, which ultimately contributes to long-term business success.
