Corporate Social Responsibility

Driving progress with

Care and Responsibility

Rooted in our society and deeply aware of the environmental crises and social inequalities around us, we cannot afford to look the other way. At our core, we care. It's not just a value—it’s a mindset, a statement that defines our culture, shapes the way we act, and guides what we stand for.

As a company and as individuals, we acknowledge our responsibility to act. This means being environmentally friendly, socially aware and inclusive, and unwaveringly ethical in everything we do. To fulfill these responsabilities, we are actively developing a comprehensive approach aligned with ESG.

Our initiatives

Decarbon'action Project Our carbon reduction commitment

Through the Decarbon’action project with BPI France, our French team initiated a meaningful change to reduce our carbon footprint. It began with a full assessment of GHG emissions, covering travel, building emissions, waste, and procurement, followed by an ongoing tailored reduction plan. An initiative uniting our team in a proactive CSR effort.

RUNNING FROM THE HEART Supporting causes

Supporting meaningful causes is a core value for us. A recent example of this commitment is in Egypt where our team laced up their running shoes and hit the pavement, running 3km, 5km, and 10km to support the Magdi Yacoub Foundation. The mission: raise funds and awareness for life-saving heart surgeries for children in need.

Empowering Women in IT Support Through Practical Training and Education

QESTIT Austria has been collaborating with the zam Foundation for several years to empower unemployed women. By offering practical training and education programs, this initiative opens up new career paths for women. Through this partnership, we contribute to fostering equality and integrating women into the IT industry.

Promoting Young Talent Award-Winning Collaboration

In Germany, a partnership between Oberschule Rauschwalde and QESTIT has been recognized by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs. This collaboration provides students with hands-on IT knowledge through real-world projects, comprehensive career guidance, and exclusive internship opportunities.

Innovative Testing Through research and smarter solutions

In Sweden, QESTIT and the Blekinge Institute of Technology are collaborating to develop intelligent, user-friendly automated testing solutions that not only enhance efficiency but also contribute to a positive societal impact. By leveraging the academic tool Scout and Augmented Testing, the project enables sustainable testing processes that conserve resources, reduce energy consumption, and minimize the reliance on manual labor.

Upskilling program Breaking barriers for all

QESTIT collaborates regularly with BearingPoint and APF France Handicap on the Test’In program to include individuals with disabilities and those distant from the job market in digital professions. As the training partner, QESTIT Academy offers a 3-month program in software testing, culminating in an ISTQB® certification and a job placement.

Fighting Food waste And precarity with digital innovation

As part of a skills-based sponsorship, colleagues tested the HopHopFood app, which connects surplus food to those in need through a digital platform and pantry network. This tool helps reduce food waste and combat precariousness for both businesses and individuals

About skills Sponsorship

"I had never heard of the scheme before and had no prior experience with nonprofits. I thought it was a great initiative by QESTIT to allow us to dedicate our working time to a meaningful organization. Nonprofits operate differently—everything felt less structured than in a corporate setting! However, I adapted and even developed new skills in both strategic and technical areas. The nonprofit’s availability and responsiveness made the experience smooth and rewarding."
