MISSION
Loring was not founded as your typical company. No investors. No chasing quarterly profit targets. No losing sight of what's important in search of company growth. None of it. Loring was founded with the purpose of taking our skills in mathematics and computer science and applying them in ways that contribute to the common good. Loring is a company with a conscience, a part of a new, socially-aware capitalism.
With the belief that all businesses have an opportunity to create a positive impact on the world, our mission is to contribute to the betterment of society through the technologies we create.
Values
Our mission provides the direction for our company. Our values flow directly from that mission and are the principles that guide our day-to-day work.
- All of our work should contribute to society in a positive way. Where we can reasonably foresee negative impacts from our work, we will seek to mitigate those impacts or may decline to perform the work entirely.
- We will treat all people with dignity and respect, including not just our employees and clients, but also those who are impacted——or may be impacted——by the technologies we use and the technologies we create.
- Both the direct and the indirect environmental impact of our business should be acknowledged and minimized.
- We will do what is right for the long-term.
We strive to always act in accordance with our mission and our values. We pledge not to sell-out and violate them for the sake of money or prestige. We know that if we fail to uphold these values and if we lose sight of our mission, we'll simply be one more manifestation of a modern corporate culture that is defined by misguided priorities. We want to be better than that. By staying true to our mission and values, we can be a positive influence on other businesses and part of a future world that is more just and equitable for all.
