As a compliance and ethics leader, I spend considerable time thinking about the connection between words and actions.

Most companies have written values. Many talk about integrity, trust, responsibility, and doing the right thing. But the harder question remains: when values are considered in the context of business decisions, what do we actually do?

That question has been on my mind as AppLogic Networks continues to define what responsible technology leadership means for us.

We work in a part of the software technology world that is deeply connected to how people experience the internet. Networks are not abstract infrastructure. They are how people communicate, learn, work, access information, build businesses, participate in public life and public discourse, and stay connected to the world around them.

That is why internet freedom and digital human rights matter to us.

In January, AppLogic Networks reaffirmed its commitment to contribute 1% of its 2025 annual profits to a non-governmental organization that supports internet freedom, democratic values, digital rights, and human rights globally.

In February, we did just that.

We donated 1% of our 2025 annual profits to a Freedom House, a non-governmental organization that has served as a voice for freedom around the world. For 85 years, Freedom House has informed the world about the state of internet freedom and freedom. Freedom House has also assisted human rights defenders and organizations that work to strengthen civil society, protect human rights, promote digital rights, advance democratic values, and remediate instances of digital rights abuse.

Last month, we were honored to attend the Freedom House Annual Awards and 85th Anniversary celebration in Washington, DC., where Freedom House honored distinguished advocates for democracy and freedom and launched its “Investing in Freedom’s Future” campaign.

The significance of our connection to and investment in Freedom House and its work is made more important because of the intent behind our action.

Technology companies increasingly operate in an environment where innovation, connectivity, privacy, security, and human rights intersect. This means that we cannot think about compliance as only a legal function, or trust as only a brand promise, or ethics as only doing the right thing in theory or a statement in a code of conduct.

Responsible technology should show up in the way companies make decisions about their business, and AppLogic Networks strives to align our decisions with business integrity.

At AppLogic Networks, we help customers understand and improve how applications and services perform across networks. However, we also recognize that technology should serve people, not just systems. The same networks that power business growth and AI innovation also serve to shape access, opportunity, expression, and participation.

This is why companies, like us, seek to support the broader ecosystem that protects open access and digital human rights. It is also why we continue to engage, learn, and continuously improve alongside multiple stakeholders that are dedicated to promoting human rights in connection with the communications technology sector and think seriously about the future of digital rights.

Our contribution is one step. It does not solve the global challenges facing internet freedom or digital human rights, but it reflects the type of company we seek to be -- one that connects business success with responsible action.

For me, that is the real meaning of integrity in a technology company. Good intentions are not enough.

I am proud that AppLogic Networks chose to support Freedom House. I am also proud that this is part of a larger commitment to responsible innovation, respect for human-centered technology, privacy, respect for human rights, and transparency.
