Socially Responsible, Therefore Successful!

What being socially responsible means to us?

Protecting the environment. Sharing accumulated experience. Fostering national growth.

As a leading cloud service provider in Europe, we set high standards for ourselves daily. Social responsibility is no exception, and we strive to achieve it every step of the way.

Our success is measured by the harmony and balance of the environment surrounding us. That’s why we work tirelessly to create a comfortable, long-lasting, and beneficial environment for future generations. With a well-calibrated moral compass — our path to success is clear.

Every day, we look for ways to make our actions more sustainable and environmentally friendly. We leverage green energy opportunities for our clients, and in our offices, we avoid excessive paper documents that pose a threat to forests. We believe that each of us can contribute to preserving the environment, and we encourage our clients to do the same.

Here at Skaylink, we believe that every challenge is an opportunity for growth. We respect and support each employee’s desire to improve and learn because, behind every success story, there is a person. We are fascinated by diversity and the ability to think unconventionally, so we promote cultural diversity and gender equality within our team.

We are united by the conviction that by constantly pushing our limits, we can achieve more for others every day. We are united by sports. We are avid triathlon enthusiasts, as it reveals the best qualities of all team members. We are proud to support young, talented athletes, including our employees.

We are responsible for the well-being of the country where we can grow and improve. We care about creating a good living environment for everyone, and we strive to make our homeland’s name transcend geographic boundaries. That’s why we contribute to shaping Lithuania’s image worldwide and support Benediktas Vanagas in the world’s most famous race – Dakar.

Skaylink – today, we take responsibility for tomorrow’s world, so here and now, through concrete actions, we strive to create an environment where there’s room for the future.
