I. Ethical Business Practice

The products and services invented, designed and manufactured, integrated, distributed or prescribed by BOLEO have one or more characteristics which comply with this charter or are promoted by product owners willing to respect[GF1] it. These products and services are able to offer use values equivalent to or greater than those of similar products available on the market and engaging proactively in product and service feedback to ensure that customer adoption is maximized. These studies are also performed on third party systems or dependent subsystems.

Empowerment through knowledge and control of customer experience [GF2] is measured within two categories:

i. environmental integrity and right to life of all forms

ii. social cohesion and the fair resource sharing

1. Environmental Integrity

Implement a downward trend on the environmental debt through relevant micro-uses.

Information flows, discreet (eg: non-quantified wear of a device) or conspicuous (eg: recording of sick leave) are used as objectified data in connection with the framework activity of the BOLEO mission. These certified data are refined into nano-knowledge.

[information is a flow => (individual) knowledge is repeated]

[shared knowledge = the knowledge].

Data, information, individual knowledge and shared knowledge allow the formalization of assessments and projections before and after BOLEO delivers its services and products in relation to:

➢ carbon footprint and GHG emissions (Greenhouse Gas) - in accordance with the United Nations protocol (https://unfccc.int/kyoto_protocol) ratified by France (April 29, 1998 and May 31, 2002 for the version amended), allows reduction objectives, rendering analysis and monetization of volume of GHG effectively removed,

➢ the assessment of a cause or a negative effect linked to the use considered. This includes damage to the resilience of species, level of stress generated, status of living elements or a level of relevant resource distribution considered where actions generate effects, overall status report of a system or a subsystem if available.

2. Social cohesion and fair resource sharing

Build confidence and localized agility using participatory science tools.

Empowerment from neural marketing designed by the extractive industries (digital, finance, entertainment, communication, etc.) offers customers the option of deploying reflective freedom & community activity. This information is studied, presented, modified and validated by members of BOLEO service beneficiaries by taking into account all related data, information, individual knowledge and shared knowledge. For the avoidance of doubt all information gathered is kept in a secure data environment, and will only be used by members of the BOLEO service for the improvement and development of the products and services contracted, unless agreed or specified upon by the data owner or local regulation applying to the data owner.

BOLEO Ethical Business Practices are about instituting a freedom that is focused on fully understanding, and quantifying the ethical risk profile of each market the products and / or services are sold into . BOLEO’s ethical standards are set at a higher level than the legal requirements of the markets / countries it trades in.

BOLEO’s ethical policy is positioned to help slow down the addictive automatisms del-linking or atomizing the individual or entity concerned-served and so reducing the risk of cutting them off from collective uses and active communities. This amounts to creating an interval of reflection within an equipped and benevolent community for the benefit of individuals and entities that are customers or partners of BOLEO.

For individuals or isolated entities placed in situations where their desires controlled by identified / identifiable “short-sighted” third parties seem impossible to deconstruct, BOLEO products and methods offer their users, actors in full knowledge of their daily decisions, the assurance necessary for the reversal of the relationship [comfort > freedom] into [comfort < freedom] through the network of exchanges maintained with peers, localized team members structured or served by BOLEO.

BOLEO participates in the emergence of communities and economic networks capable of distributing resources - material, knowledge and income - in an ethical and therefore fair manner for all.

II. Operational Efficiency

Efficiency is the ability of an individual, a group or a system to achieve its goals, its objectives (those that have been set or set for themselves).

Being efficient means producing the expected results on time and achieving objectives that can be defined in terms of quantity, but also quality, speed, costs, profitability. In other words: always on time, in full and surpassing end user expectations.

A value proposal in line with BOLEO efficiency principles, to become a mission operated by it, is to guarantee improved operational objectives compared to the current staus quo.

The definition of objectives and the evaluation of results are validated by BOLEO and its prospects, customers, associates and partners. When official methodological assessment tools are available, they are used (UN - UNFCC protocol type for GHGs, accounting estimates, metrologic records, etc.). In cases where standards, instruments, quantifiers are not available, they are co-created and validated by BOLEO and the academic partners and any other qualified project members related to the subject/field managed.

Effectiveness can thus relate to any use or exchange value, quantitative or qualitative element related to the purpose of the mission undertaken by BOLEO. An effectiveness ceiling is qualified, in a dynamic and iterative manner, in relation to learning and valuing the resiliency of the mission managed by BOLEO and its contribution to that factor.

Feedback loops need to balance and fit into the overall cycle. The effectiveness of a system feeds back its environment. This charter creates a link between its effectiveness and the ethics described above by qualifying a floor of resilience to be preserved.

Increasing efficiency amounts to weakening the ability to resist a shock, an endogenous or exogenous disturbance. The level of resilience, of a device or of a system, is to be sought according to the following articulation:-

“Efficiency appears when a system simplifies its flow of resources to achieve its objectives, for example by directly channeling said resources. between the larger nodes. Resilience, on the other hand, depends on diversity and the superfluous, which allows a wide range of connections and alternative options in times of shock or change. Too great an efficiency makes a system vulnerable (...) and too great resilience generates stagnation: vitality and robustness suppose a balance (...) ”^[1].
