We are constantly looking for balance; not only our own, but also that of our environment and our stakeholders. We cultivate boldness and creativity, while remaining driven by a culture of results of a nuanced scientific topic, within a wide and busy field. We have big ambitions yet remain modest, particularly in terms of our contribution to huge environmental challenges we face: we play our part, but also count on our partnerships and the coming together of solutions to truly affect change.
We are a team composed of singular but complementary talents working towards a common goal. Our successes are never individual but always collective, the result of working in solidarity with our entire ecosphere. We respect the living and its constraints with patience and consideration. We are committed, ecologically, economically and socially, as well as in our daily jobs. Openness, trust, and empathy are our day-to-day dynamics.
There is no passive courage, and there is no passivity within Ynsect. Courage manifests itself through a series of decisions to confront colossal issues that are beyond our control and seem insurmountable. We have the courage to face them, take risks, face our fears, and make difficult decisions while working together without animosity and in an honest and transparent manner.
We are constantly adapting to changing environments. We are agile, always in movement, and overcoming obstacles. Our products and technologies continue to evolve to contribute to changes in consumption patterns and thus offer our customers and consumers around the world natural, responsible and sustainable alternatives in order to face the challenges of today and tomorrow.
We are authentic and sincere, women and men of different cultures, nationalities and histories, deeply rooted and invested in our mission and what we believe in. We are aligned on our core beliefs, the challenges we face, our decisions and activities. We know where we come from, who we are and where we are going. We remain humble in the face of our successes. We cultivate respect, exchange and listen to those in our ecosystems.
We take risks, we test, we go back, we persevere, but we always move forward. We are creative and solution-oriented: for any problem we face, we chase a solution until we find it. We exceed our own expectations, innovate, push our limits and those of science. We accept the inevitability of making mistakes but learn quickly to avoid repetition.
