We embody that by balancing our 3P’s: Planet, People, and Prosperity in our business daily and our decision-making. We donate software. We volunteer. We have fun. We unquestionably support our people in times of need. Beyond helping organizations around the world to better manage and draw insight from a rapidly expanding volume, velocity, and variety of data, we also support staff volunteering for environmental causes in our communities with compensated time and we donate software and company resources to support critical research and to help impoverished communities globally.
Call for Applications
Our purpose is to protect life with timely water information. We embody our purpose in the work we do and the solutions we provide to help our customers protect and positively impact their communities every day. There are many great organizations in the world who are aligned with our purpose, but lack the means necessary to achieve their own purpose and fulfill their mission. This program is designed to help bridge that gap, while providing Aquatic Informatics the opportunity to make a meaningful, positive impact in the communities served by those organizations. We aim to foster meaningful collaboration that empowers our collective pursuit of water protection and conservation.
