AdaptiveMobile: Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility
Overview
As the world leader in mobile security, we believe strongly in our responsibility to behave in a manner that reflects this market leading position.
Our business is founded on a strong tradition of trust and integrity: we work with operators from around the globe to ensure that they can offer customers the highest standard of protection in their services. As a result, trust is at the core of everything we do, and it is of paramount importance to us that our customers, suppliers, partners and people are able to trust in our ability to act in the right way.
For AdaptiveMobile, this extends far beyond just the high standards of professional conduct that we ask our people to adhere to. Instead, it governs every part of our business operation, stretching from the stringent standards that we set our suppliers to the legacies and relationships that we build as a business.
We are committed to both our code of ethics and the values that we hold as a company, and consider them to be the factors that define AdaptiveMobile as a business. Below, you can read more about how we uphold our values across core areas of our corporate social responsibility.
Ethics and Human Rights
As a provider to the global telecommunications industry, AdaptiveMobile places the highest possible value on ethical working practices and business practices. It is our policy to work only with those partners that demonstrate a similar commitment to the highest standards of ethical conduct at all times.
As a result, AdaptiveMobile dedicates itself to working with suppliers, customers and partners that adhere to and respect all applicable laws and regulations governing the treatment of their employees and the environment - wherever in the world they do business.
Our technology and human rights
AdaptiveMobile is a highly respected leader in the provision of software that allows network operators to protect their subscribers against the growing threat of mobile abuse.
Our software sits at the heart of an operator’s network, allowing them to apply controls and filters that counter viruses, spam and rogue applications within the network.
Our deep expertise and unique focus on network security is a reason why many of the world’s leading security and telecom equipment vendors partner with us. Our mission is to provide a safe and trusted mobile experience for consumers and enterprises worldwide.
AdaptiveMobile supports the fundamental human right to privacy, free expression, and free access to information in countries across the globe. We stand against any attempt to contravene these rights in any form.
Because of this, we carry out stringent checks to ensure that the organisations to which we provide our software will use it for the designed purpose and that alone. We are directly opposed to any attempt to modify, adapt or otherwise engineer our software for any usage that would contravene human rights in any way, and have mechanisms in place to prevent this.
AdaptiveMobile does not, and has never, sold software to any government bodies or intelligence agencies either directly or through any third parties.
Our Values
AdaptiveMobile prides itself on five values that flow throughout every part of our organisation. We ask all of our employees to demonstrate their commitment to these values, and measure our success as an organisation by how we live these values.

- Empowerment and responsibility: we believe in empowering both our individuals and teams, encouraging them to take responsibility for proactive decision-making. At the same time, we ensure that the correct processes are followed at all times and reward good decisions
We apply these values to our business operation, the way in which we treat our staff and customers and in the way in which we act and behave within our wider industry.
