Respect as a Starting Point
We treat people, animals, food, and resources with respect. For us, professional work begins when we are mindful of origin, craftsmanship, and impact.
Attitude and Responsibility
The M.E.A.T. Code
Professional work requires a clear stance. This code describes how Ronny Paulusch and M.E.A.T. GmbH share knowledge, collaborate, and take responsibility.
The Code is a public commitment to guide our day-to-day collaboration. It provides guidance without replacing any legal, contractual, or professional regulations.
Quality Requires Responsibility
We combine professional expertise with a commitment to craftsmanship. Statements, methods, and recommendations must be transparent, verifiable, and understandable within their respective scope.
Communicate Honestly
We do not create the illusion of authority, certification, or partnership. Roles, responsibilities, sources, and limitations are clearly identified.
Sharing Knowledge Responsibly
Education is intended to enable people to act based on sound knowledge. It is not a substitute for individual legal, financial, or health advice.
Working Together Fairly
Participants, customers, partners, and colleagues are treated fairly and with respect. We view international collaboration as an exchange among equals and recognize both cultural and professional differences.
Protecting Trust
Intellectual property, personal data, and confidential information are protected. Information is used only for the agreed-upon purpose and is not disclosed without authorization.
Using Digital Systems Thoughtfully
We use digital systems and artificial intelligence in a transparent and responsible manner. Technology supports professional decision-making, but it does not replace responsibility or critical evaluation.
A Clear Stance Against Disparagement
Discriminatory, derogatory, or misleading communication has no place at M.E.A.T. Different perspectives should be allowed to be expressed without violating dignity or fairness.
Dealing Openly with Mistakes
Mistakes, criticism, and conflicts of interest are not swept under the rug. We investigate reports, identify necessary corrections, and make it clear where responsibility lies.
Questions or comments?
We take reports regarding our conduct, potential misconduct, or conflicts of interest seriously and investigate them in a transparent manner.
