THE CHANGE-BOX CHARTER

Our mission is to help local communities through innovative technology and cooperative principles that scale.

​

Our Core Principles:

​

1. Community-Centric Approach: We recognize that local communities - comprising individuals, businesses, and authorities - are best positioned to identify and address their unique needs. Our role is to help and accelerate cooperation within these communities.

2. Equitable Value Distribution: We believe in a fair and just distribution of value at its source, rather than extraction by large corporations or shareholders. This principle is fundamental to our technical and commercial services.

3. Data Ownership and Control: Each member owns their personal and service data. We provide full control over how this data is used and by whom, ensuring privacy and value.

4. Secure and Private Data Environment: All service data is stored in private, secure data pods, aligned with open data architecture principles designed to democratize the internet.

5. Member Participation: We actively involve our members in decision-making processes, including how data is deployed and new service options are developed.

6. Transparency and Trust: Trust is the cornerstone of our services. Members can delete their accounts and remove all their service data at any time, ensuring complete transparency and control.

​

Our Commitments:

​

1. We will hard-code our principles into our technical and commercial services to ensure consistent delivery of our promises.

2. We will prioritize public good over profit in all our operations and decision-making processes.

3. We will continuously innovate to create services that address societal challenges effectively and ethically.

4. We will maintain open communication with our members and stakeholders, fostering a culture of collaboration and mutual respect.

5. We will regularly review and update our practices to ensure alignment with our core principles and the evolving needs of our communities.

 

By adhering to this charter, Change-Box commits to being a catalyst for positive societal change, driven by the power of community cooperation and ethical technology use.
