“Our mission is to support our clients, colleagues and partners
in reaching their dreams, while leaving a positive imprint on the world.”

Coming up with impactful sentences for a company’s mission and scale of values is easy but living by the statement is what makes it challenging. In a busy world where each of us are overwhelmed with day-to-day activities, finding an hour for welfare projects might be difficult. But after all, it all comes down to the mindset. In Accace, we strongly believe that giving something to local communities and people involved in them is as important as any other service the company is providing. Therefore, we are constantly seeking causes to support, movements to lift, ideas to come true and do good.

Generally, we are focusing on four main areas: sustainability, community support, education and providing pro bono expert services. These interests sprouted naturally from our mission and values, but at the same time, we are constantly exploring new grounds where we can make a positive change. To great extent, the suggestions come directly from our colleagues, who acknowledge their privilege of well-being and try to bring the same for others.

While summarizing the year 2018, we came across great numbers.
