Corporate social responsibility at Surfshark

As we grow our operations globally, we are mindful of our environmental impact, maintaining our dedication to secure online solutions, and constantly broadening our scope of social initiatives. Take a look at our initiatives toward corporate social responsibility (CSR) at Surfshark.

Our dream

We aspire for everyone to have complete control of their digital lives, care about the future and accessibility of the internet, and show the nature and impact of everchanging online threats. We see the future’s internet as an open and valuable global resource for all.

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) at Surfshark

A growing number of people are putting their trust in Surfshark and its products. By integrating and disclosing more ESG initiatives, we strive to be a force for positive change worldwide: we seek to continue improving processes for our emissions calculations and engaging in more sustainability projects. We also strive to focus on our employees’ wellbeing, reaffirming our commitment to being a responsible employer.

Our work toward sustainable growth, social responsibility, and our leading role in cybersecurity is mapped out in Surfshark’s Impact Report 2023.

Following the UN Global Compact principles

The year 2023 allowed Surfshark to move toward a more sustainable future by joining the UN Global Compact. Following the UN Global Compact’s Ten Principles, we acknowledge that fostering a culture of integrity is vital to both social responsibility and sustainable business growth.

Focusing on Sustainable Development Goals

As we move forward in our journey toward sustainability, we’re excited to highlight the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that guide our actions and drive our mission:

Being proud to work with trusted organizations

Working with non-governmental organizations and nonprofits aligning with our goals and values allows us to spread awareness about internet shutdowns, censorship, and data breaches creatively and in non-traditional ways.

Advocating against online threats

To foster a safer online environment, we provide educational resources where we highlight critical issues and are actively engaged in numerous initiatives. Our Research Hub focuses on internet censorship, cyberattacks, and privacy breaches.

With the Internet Shutdown Tracker, we document cases of information suppression worldwide; with Digital Quality of Life, we examine digital wellbeing globally. We even have a fair share of different studies on government requests for user data, “right to be forgotten” requests, mobile gaming apps’ data privacy, and more.

Working toward a change with social initiatives

Surfshark is successfully mapping out the course toward improving digital wellbeing for all. That’s why we’re organizing non-commercial, educational, and awareness-raising initiatives each year.
