[Corporate information]

Although all individuals look and think differently, live different lifestyles, and speak different languages, 99% of our genetic makeup is common across all humans. The diversity between us comes from the remaining 1%. The corporate mission is to embrace this 1%, and to use genetic analysis to encourage creating a healthy society that celebrates diversity.

[Corporate Philosophy]

The company's core genetic business is based on its Vision that in the next 10-20 years and during the 21st Century, the rise of Biotechnology, Genomics and Machine Learning will become a disruptive force in how we lead our lives. With this technology combined, the human brain power will be overpowered with a more powerful information source that could ultimately change the way we think, and decide about our health, our profession and how we communicate since the power of computing will be able to better predict the outcome of our choices.

When computing power has more advanced intelligence and consistency than our human brain and the technology is readily made available to alter the course of genetic destiny, we need to be responsible while wary of the setbacks that can occur due to the rising technological information age at the same time.

Based on the vision, their Corporate Philosophy is identified through 4 key areas to address Ethics, Social Responsibility and Celebration of Humanity as common goals to address the issues and solutions for the ever-expanding use of genetic information and technology without disturbing innovation and scientific advancements:

1. Compassion

2. Cooperation

3. Corporate Governance

4. Change
