At Innophor, this is more than a motto—it’s our prevailing ethic. We believe that respect, integrity, and kindness should guide all our interactions, from team collaborations to client partnerships. Excellence isn’t just about what we build, but how we treat each other along the way.

We create products that enhance quality of life—for users, for the communities they touch, and for the world at large. Whether in connected health, media, or beyond, we prioritize projects that make a positive impact on society and the environment. If a project doesn’t align with that mission, it isn’t for us.

A company is a community, not a machine. We reject the notion that people are expendable assets to be burned out in pursuit of profit. At Innophor, we demand reciprocal value:

• Contributors deserve recognition—attribution, credit, and a share in success.

• Professional growth is essential—we invest in mentorship, learning, and development.

• Work-life balance is non-negotiable—our team members are people, not productivity quotas.

• Diversity and inclusion are fundamental—discrimination and abuse have no place here.

This applies not just internally but also in who we work with. We choose to collaborate with partners and clients who share these values and respect the people behind their success.

We believe that modularity, interoperability, transparency, and collaboration are the cornerstones of meaningful progress. That’s why we champion:

• Open Source – Contributing to and benefiting from the global tech community.

• Open Standards – Ensuring interoperability and long-term sustainability.

• Open Systems – Avoiding vendor lock-in and fostering adaptability.

• Open Access – Content, knowledge, and technology should not be locked into proprietary ecosystems. Just as any car can drive on any highway, digital content should move freely across platforms, ensuring accessibility and choice.

Whenever possible, we apply MOSA (the Modular Open Systems Approach), microservices architecture, REST APIs, SDKs, and other strategies that ensure technology is built for the long term, not the short-sighted. We also believe in common carrier principles—universal access to infrastructure benefits society, and we advocate for policies and technologies that prevent gatekeeping and monopolization.

As a Benefit Company, we believe business should be a force for good. Our success is measured not just by revenue, but by the value we create for:

• People – Employees, partners, and the communities our products touch.

• Planet – Sustainable practices and ethical development choices.

• Progress – Solutions that push industries forward while staying true to ethical principles.

Technology should be a bridge, not a barrier. We strive to ensure that the products we develop:

• Are accessible to all—including those with disabilities, limited resources, or underrepresented voices.

• Reduce bias and promote fairness—whether in algorithms, user experiences, or business models.

• Champion ethical design—creating intuitive, inclusive, and responsible solutions.

We believe that good business is sustainable business. That means:

• Minimizing environmental impact—choosing responsible hosting solutions, optimizing energy use, and reducing waste.

• Prioritizing ethical sourcing—selecting vendors and partners who align with our values.

• Building for longevity—developing scalable, adaptable solutions that won’t be obsolete in a few years.

We respect user autonomy and advocate for responsible data practices:

• Users own their data—we reject exploitative data monetization.

• Privacy-first design—we build with security and transparency in mind.

• Informed consent matters—our products empower users to understand and control how their data is used.

We believe technology should enable, not control. Our approach includes:

• Transparency in our processes—so clients and users understand what’s under the hood.

• Education & collaboration—equipping teams, customers, and communities with the knowledge they need to thrive.

• A commitment to open learning—contributing back to the ecosystem through knowledge-sharing and mentorship.

Our mission extends beyond what we build—it includes who we work with. We partner with organizations that:

• Share our commitment to ethical business and innovation.

• Treat their teams, customers, and communities with respect and fairness.

• Aim to create sustainable, positive change in their industries.
