Our Five Core Values
-
Include and Grow Individuals
Include and Grow Individuals
We are working on one of the most important problems of
our times, climate change. Our technology is reducing the
carbon emissions of the most energy-intensive industries
and changing the way humanity uses energy. The work we do
impacts everyone on the planet. -
Reason From First Principles
Reason From First Principles
In order to truly solve problems, we need to understand the problems we’re setting out to solve. This means we take the time up front to seek out the root cause of the issue. While this delays gratification, once we fundamentally understand a problem, we can move much faster and with total clarity to effectively and explicitly solve it.
-
Communicate Openly and Concisely
Communicate Openly and Concisely
Human beings are driven by purpose and meaning. When we understand the larger context, we’re much more inspired to take action, stay motivated, and make real progress. We want to include everyone in the process. This is the reason we start with “why” and openly share information. Communicating as clearly and concisely as possible shows we respect one another’s time.
-
Build Trust
Build Trust
Trust helps us work together to accomplish our common goals. When we have mutual trust among colleagues, individuals feel empowered to do their jobs, co-workers can collaborate with confidence, and everyone can make more informed and decisive calls. When we have trust with our partners, we can deliver our services faster and with higher quality. When we have trust with our customers, we can deliver value to them with fewer validation steps. The more trust we build, the less fear slows us down, and the faster we can innovate.
-
