At Neural Partners, sustainability and ethics are foundational - not aspirational. Our operating agreement legally empowers us to consider the impact of our decisions on society, the environment, and future generations. We exist to create a material positive impact, not just short-term business results.

Our Purpose

As defined in our founding documents, Neural Partners exists to build value through innovation and impact. Our members are authorized to consider the interests of:

• Our team and future hires
• Clients and the communities they serve
• Our partners and supply chain
• The environment—both local and global
• The long-term independence and sustainability of our business

We take a multi-stakeholder approach to governance and believe in principled leadership.

Our Commitment to B Corp Standards

Neural Partners is preparing to apply for Certified B Corporation status. We are actively aligning our operations with the B Impact Assessment framework and intend to formally pursue certification in 2026, in accordance with the eligibility criteria for new companies.

In the meantime, we operate in the spirit of B Lab’s Pending B Corp model. More information is available at bcorporation.net.

Our Code of Ethics

Our internal Code of Ethics outlines ten principles that guide every decision we make:

1. Integrity and Honesty
2. Ethical Use of AI
   • Transparency, explainability, and auditability
   • Bias mitigation and fairness testing
   • Human-in-the-loop oversight
   • Privacy-by-design
   • Alignment with NIST, OECD, and U.S. AI governance standards
   • Internal training for all project contributors
3. Privacy and Security
4. Social and Environmental Stewardship
5. Client-Centric Commitment
6. Respect and Inclusion
7. Continuous Learning and Innovation
8. Accountability and Transparency
9. Conflict of Interest Management
10. Legal Compliance

We treat our Code not as a checklist, but as a culture.

Our Ethical Framework in Action

• Modern Slavery Statement: We have adopted a public-facing Modern Slavery Statement outlining our expectations of suppliers and steps to prevent exploitation.
• Accessibility: We actively maintain an Accessibility Statement aligned with WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
• Privacy Rights: We provide U.S. consumers with clear access to their data rights.
• Environmental Impact: While we operate primarily as a digital business, we prioritize energy-efficient infrastructure and remote-first operations to reduce emissions.

Governance and Accountability

Our leadership is directly accountable to the Operating Agreement’s impact mandate. This includes:

• Annual review of sustainability and ethics policies
• Internal reporting on ethical risks and opportunities
• Transparent engagement with clients and partners on values alignment

As we grow, we will publish periodic updates on our ethical and sustainability performance.

Looking Ahead

We believe the future belongs to companies that lead with intention. Neural Partners is building that future—responsibly, intelligently, and transparently.
