Cybercom strives to behave responsibly in all countries and in all contexts in which the Group is active. For example, the Group is always interested in cooperating with stakeholders and with the community. Cybercom's social accountability initiatives – and its view of humankind, working conditions, and the environment – are based on its values and the UN Global Compact.
Global Compact is a programme for companies and organisations that want to contribute to the international work with 10 global principles on human rights, labour law, environmental problems, and anticorruption. Cybercom has supported this work since 2004. By becoming involved in these issues and supporting the UN's efforts, Cybercom has agreed to protect and support human rights, while working against corruption, discrimination, and all forms of forced labour.
In 2004, Cybercom's board adopted the first edition of its Code of Conduct. This code applies to the entire Group. It is updated regularly and contains rules for Cybercom's business behaviour and for its responsibility in relation to colleagues, customers, vendors, shareholders, regulatory authorities, and the world at large.
Cybercom's business concept is to strengthen its customers' operations via world-leading global delivery capacity, local presence, and close cooperation with customers, using end-to-end solutions in which technology and reality meet.
At Cybercom, quality means that its services meet or exceed customer expectations, its production is carried out under acceptable conditions, and its customers are satisfied with Cybercom as a company. Accepting responsibility for the impact of the company's operations on people and the environment is also essential for Cybercom – to be able to grow with continued good profitability.

Cybercom supports SOS Children's Villages in Rwanda
Cybercom signed a long-term partnership agreement with SOS Children's Villages and will finance a major part of the activities at a primary school for 400 children in Gikongoro, Rwanda.
“We are an internationally growing knowledge company. It feels extremely important that our support of SOS Children's Villages can contribute to knowledge development in a country where we have ongoing projects. Education is the basis for a child's intellectual, emotional, social and physical development and, most importantly, provides opportunities to escape poverty says”, Kristina Cato, Communications director of the Cybercom Group.”
SOS Children's Villages is committed to helping vulnerable children worldwide. They help orphans and abandoned children, and give them a home, a family, and an education. SOS Children's Villages has been active in Rwanda for 30 years.
The Gikongoro primary school was established in 1992. Its six classrooms educate 400 children from the SOS Children's Village, its family strengthening programmes, and the surrounding neighborhood. The primary school has doubled in size since it opened. Recently, the school purchased computers to assist teachers and to teach the children to use computers.
Suranjan Sinha, Iku Lazaro and, Rami Chaar was three of the Cybercom employees that visit the children’s village in Gikongoro, Rwanda in November 2009.
Cybercom's partnership with SOS Children's Villages is a long-term cooperation with ongoing activities. All of Cybercom’s subsidiaries have committed to the Gikongoro Children’s Village. Their joint commitment allows Cybercom to make a greater impact. Cybercom's commitment to SOS Children's Villages gives employees a sense of pride. Cybercom do mobile network roll outs in Rwanda.
