Corporate responsibility at Digiteq Automotive

We make the world a better place: not only through our products and services.

We pay special attention to our compliance with all the legal and ethical rules which refer to competition, the financial and tax sectors, environmental protection and the relations with our employees, including the provision of equal opportunities.

As far as the social sphere is concerned, we focus on our employees’ further development and we take care of them.

We provide premium  support for their education and personal development. Our employees manage to find a good work-life balance thanks to our flexible working hours, the option of doing some work at home and our shorter 37.5 hour working week.

We support the “Linka bezpečí” help-line and the Zdravotní klaun (Medical Clown) project. In 2021, we provided these organisations with a total of 300 thousand CZK.

The “Linka bezpečí” help-line provides high-quality and easily accessible assistance to children and students and anybody acting on their behalf. It helps to resolve demanding life situations and everyday problems. It provides crisis intervention and counselling by telephone, chat and e-mail. All of this is anonymous and free.

The “Zdravotní klaun” project cheers up children in hospitals, geriatric patients and other people in need. It helps to improve their psychological status and overall health, not only by means of the activities of specially trained medical clowns, but also with other related projects.

History from a colleagues' perspective

Certificates and standards

A good solution is not enough for us, so we always strive for a perfect one. We are assisted in this by the certificates and standards which we comply with.

We use tools which represent an industry-wide standard for programming on the MATLAB/Simulink platform and develop components according to the AUTOSAR architecture, when testing our assistance or comfort systems. We are able to maintain maximum software quality thanks to the V-Model concept and Automotive SPICE.
