A War That Affects Us All
Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine is not a distant event on a map. It is an attack on people, on freedom, and on the fundamental values upon which democratic societies are built. Day by day, Ukraine demonstrates what courage, dignity, and unity mean. A nation that has stood against terror and destruction for years is defending not only its own country, but also the idea of freedom and self-determination in Europe.
Our Stance: Clarity Instead of Neutrality
EAS™ sees itself as an independent, value-oriented certification body in the European region. However, being independent does not mean remaining neutral in the face of obvious injustice. We stand:
on the side of international law and human rights,
on the side of democratic values,
on the side of all those suffering from violence, displacement, and destruction.
This includes a clear stance: the Russian war of aggression is a breach of international law and a massive violation of human dignity. The strength with which Ukraine has withstood this terror for almost four years deserves not only respect—it deserves active support.
Why We Specifically Support Ukrainian Providers
Thousands of Ukrainian professionals, companies, and self-employed individuals are fighting on two fronts simultaneously: they are securing their survival in everyday life—while trying to continue their work, projects, and businesses. Especially in this situation, economic visibility is more than a business advantage. It is often a matter of perspective, securing a livelihood, and inner dignity:
Those who continue to teach, guide, treat, consult, or develop during a war contribute to stability and hope.
Those who win international clients create income and room to maneuver—for themselves, their own families, and often for local relief structures.
As a certification body, we cannot move front lines or rebuild destroyed houses. But we can strengthen what Ukrainian providers already bring to the table: competence, resilience, a sense of responsibility, and the willingness to keep going despite everything.
Our Contribution: 50% Discount for Ukrainian Providers
Effective immediately, EAS™ therefore offers:
a 50% discount on EAS™ certifications
for Ukrainian businesses, self-employed individuals, schools, academies, and authors,
who are active in the field of online services, courses, coaching, consulting, or similar formats.
With this, we want to:
facilitate access to an international proof of quality,
help Ukrainian services become more visible on the European and global markets,
and send a small sign that the performance of this nation under exceptional circumstances is seen and appreciated.
Quality, professionalism, and ethics are core values of EAS™—and they are lived every day in Ukraine under the most extreme conditions.
How Ukrainian Providers Can Use the Discount
To keep the process simple, the following applies:
Ukrainian providers demonstrate their connection to Ukraine (e.g., through company headquarters, registration, residence, or comparable documents).
As part of their inquiry or application, they note their desire to use the Ukraine Discount.
The conditions are confirmed transparently and individually, ensuring that planning and calculation are reliable.
The professional part of the audit remains just as demanding—because it is exactly this seriousness that makes the certificate valuable. At the same time, we guide all applicants structurally through the process, even if they have no prior experience with audits or certifications.
A Sign of Solidarity
This initiative is not a marketing gimmick or an "image campaign." It is an expression of what we understand to be the core of EAS™:
Respect for people who take responsibility—for themselves, for others, and for the future.
The will to make quality visible, precisely where noise, propaganda, and violence try to gain the upper hand.
The conviction that true partnership always means not looking away in difficult times.
We bow to the willpower and inner strength of this great nation in a country that may seem geographically modest (on a global scale) – but is vast in its stance and courage.
EAS™ stands by Ukraine's side.
And where we, as a certification body, can offer concrete support, we do so—with a clear stance, fair conditions, and genuine appreciation.
