“Wherever in the world we operate, we are part of Komšiluk and we do Sadaka. The literal translation of Komšiluk in Bosnian and Turkish is neighborhood, but it is used to refer to community, people who take care of each other. Sadaka (the same as the Jewish word Tzedekh) literally means righteousness, but its deeper meaning is giving something without seeking a substitute in return. Both Komšiluk and Sadaka are values that we strive to uphold within ECHO as we help those in our community.”

Social Impact Abroad
The history of Bosnia & Herzegovina, formerly a part of Yugoslavia, is integral to ECHO’s company values and culture. ECHO CEO Sejo Jahic immigrated to the US from Bosnia in 1996, after fleeing the country as a refugee of the Yugoslav War. The effects of war are still felt today, and Bosnians continue to face economic hardship. ECHO is proud to support our colleagues and the country as a whole by providing opportunities for young people in the technology industry.
Bit Alliance Member
In 2018, ECHO became a member of Bit Alliance, an alliance of the biggest software companies in Bosnia & Herzegovina with the goal to educate and create new opportunities in the software industry. Bit Alliance, in cooperation with its member organizations, works with both the academic community and government to provide quality education and software curriculum for young people, create a favorable and stable business environment to encourage job growth. In 2020, ECHO was selected by Bit Alliance to lead a Salesforce training program for college students. To learn more about Bit Alliance, please visit their website.
