Behind the courtains: why are we ORG

August 23rd, 2008

Some may wonder why did we chose a .org TLD if we don’t look and act like an organization.
The answer is, that we do act like an organization.
Since we are relatively new on the internet, we can not show too much results, but the followings:

  • in 2008 we transferred more than 70 per cent of our total revenue to UNICEF in order to help the victims of the cyclone in Myanmar. We used Google as a third party as they showed many times their trustful side.
  • in 1 year of existence, we reduced our paper usage in our offices worldwide by 87 per cent. We do care about our environment and we think the biggest issue at the moment is that the Earth’s lungs are destroyed. hundreds of millions of acres of forest are cut just to produce paper, which usually arrives in the garbage. We try to use paper only if we really have to, like official letters. We also plan to release our own datacenter, where we plan to use only renewable energy to power the servers.
  • we like open source and in order to somehow support these project we offer a wide variety of help, including but not limited to free hosting or mirroring.

About

May 11th, 2008

The 4ugroup is an umbrella company, comprising of three public international e-commerce enterprises.

The group has further public projects currently in development which are soon to be released, and also a range of private enterprises, which will remain anonymous to maintain client confidentiality.

The group originated from two separate companies that merged to incorporate their individual professions in order to provide more advanced services to clients.
Shortly following the merge, 4ugroup expanded its client base and has grown rapidly ever since.

If you are interested in becoming involved with the 4ugroup, both permanent and freelance, then please see our “Careers” page.
