Safeguarding the internet for a sustainable future: Group-IB launches its inaugural sustainability report
Group-IB, a leading creator of cybersecurity technologies to investigate, prevent, and fight digital crime, today released its inaugural Sustainability Report. The report highlights Group-IB's commitment to upholding the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) through its contributions to cyberdefence and law enforcement, the development and empowerment of cybersecurity talent, and a strong commitment to corporate governance and integrity.
In 2024, Group-IB contributed to international and local law enforcement operations by dismantling approximately 207,442 compromised computers, removing them from cybercriminal control. These takedowns also led to the arrest of 1,221 cybercriminals, shielding 65 million potential victims from fraud and preventing more than US$2.7 billion in fraud losses. These operations further prevented nearly 22.4 million kWh of unnecessary electricity consumption, avoiding roughly 10,000 tCO₂e, equivalent to the carbon captured by 48,000 tree seedlings grown over ten years.
Additionally, Group-IB's office in the Netherlands now operates on 100% renewable electricity through a partnership with Greenchoice.
Group-IB's people-first culture is driven by its 444-strong global team, representing over 30 countries. In 2024, the company welcomed 183 new hires, expanding its global workforce by 41%. Every employee benefits from gender-equal, market-leading pay, comprehensive health insurance, and universal eligibility for parental leave. Employees also receive a minimum of 32 hours of annual training, 100% performance reviews, and mandatory anti-corruption and human rights education.
Group-IB believes that social development and digital resilience go hand in hand. By investing in people, the company helps build inclusive, future-ready societies equipped to thrive in a connected world. To this end, Group-IB continues to cultivate the next generation of cybersecurity defenders through a robust internship programme and six university partnerships, training 1,291 aspiring professionals in the past year. All employees have also completed specialised human rights coursework. These efforts contribute to a diverse, highly skilled workforce that protects customers today while strengthening the global cybersecurity talent pipeline for tomorrow.
Group-IB's board of directors maintains direct oversight of its ESG strategy. During the reporting period, the company recorded zero incidents of corruption, regulatory non-compliance, or customer data breaches, achieving 100% adherence to its Code of Conduct. Group-IB also retained certifications for ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 9001 quality and information security standards, supported by regular internal and external audits and a continuous improvement framework.
"For more than two decades, Group-IB has been on the front lines of the fight against cybercrime, contributing to the dismantling of the world's most sophisticated cybercriminal networks while protecting critical digital infrastructure and safeguarding the digital lives of millions,' said Dmitry Volkov, CEO of Group-IB. 'Our inaugural Sustainability Report extends that same pioneering mindset to Environmental, Social, and Governance. We are committed to aligning with the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals, consciously reducing our carbon footprint, fostering ethical innovation, and building a diverse, inclusive workforce. We also invest in capacity building for law enforcement agencies and national institutions, helping countries strengthen their defenses against evolving cyber threats. This report represents our continued commitment to shaping a safer, greener, and more equitable digital future for all."
"Cybersecurity must safeguard more than data — it must safeguard our shared future," said Anastasiia Komissarova, deputy CEO of Group-IB. "Our inaugural Sustainability Report lays out clear, measurable ESG targets so that customers, partners, and regulators can see exactly how we pair world-class threat-hunting with real-world impact. We are refining our product architecture to reduce energy use, powering offices with renewables, deploying AI only under strict ethical and privacy controls, and shaping a workplace where diverse talent can thrive. By making our progress public, we aim to prove that innovation, security, and sustainability can move forward together and to raise the bar for the entire cybersecurity industry."
