Statement of Commitment:

Our passion is communication and our desire is to build technologies that connect the unconnected in new and innovative ways. As communication bridges are built, seamless transfer and exchange of ideas happen, agreements are made, partnerships are formed and company culture flourish. To reach this vision in a sustainable manner, we commit to hold high our own company culture by acting responsible to our local and global community, compete fairly and while disrupting the status quo, breach no contracts, laws or regulations. We have respect for our surroundings and honour ethical values in our practices. We behave only on good conscious, understanding and sound ethical business practices. Our behaviour in reaching our commercial goals, by offering full transparency on all that we do and have to offer to our stakeholders namely our employees, communities, customers and investors, is our best attestation.
