Our Values
Life is short, so make an impact.
Building the next webshop while our earth is burning doesn’t feel right. We are here to power the renewable revolution. This is our daily motivation.
Real power comes from trusting relationships.
We don’t believe in egos, hierarchies or power trips. We all get ahead by working together.
Empower yourself and empower your teammates.
We all have a stake in each other’s success. That is why we encourage each other to be a self-starter taking responsibility and investing in personal and team growth.
Deliver fast, design for resilience.
As the world moves, we build to move with it. Having the customer view in mind we want to build a resilient system that allows us to deliver and adapt in the fastest possible way.
