Their vision
Our vision, as a global technology company is to 'Be the only independent player thriving in branding AND user acquisition, anchored in consumer's privacy protection'.
Company values
Our culture revolves around the fact that every Ogurian is a Leader, whether they are an individual contributor, ExCom member, or any position in between. Our DNA is structured by our 8 Standards and our 4 Values, strongly anchored in each Ogurian and driving our success as a company. Our community of Ogurians is our greatest strength and we are very conscious of it. This is why we have set up events, ERGs and other internal support tools, aimed at sustainably strengthening cohesion and inclusion at Ogury.
Commitments and CSR
As a company looking to revolutionise the future of AdTech, with a focus on consumer privacy protection, it is only natural for Ogury to also want to take a strong stance on our social and environmental impact. That's why, Ogury has donated more than $1 million in U.S dollars of ad space to non-profits. Our propriety formats are certified by the Coalition for Better Ads, we run regular internal campaigns and fundraises and support our employee's to give back to their local communities.
Actions
Ogury is a signatory of the Climate pledge: committed to reaching net-zero carbon by 2040 through:

- Taking actions to neutralise any remaining emissions with additional, quantifiable and socially beneficial offsets.
Ogury is a member of the Conscious Ad Network: a voluntary coalition set up to ensure that industry ethics catches up with the technology of modern advertising committing to following the association's six golden rules on:
- Eradicating ad-fraud.
- Diversifying the industry and the content it produces, reflecting the real world.
- People being seen as active participants in their online experience.
- Ensuring brands are not inadvertently funding hate speech or fake news and lastly,
- Promoting age appropriate advertising.
Ogury's portfolio of ad formats has most recently become one of the first to be certified by the Coalition for Better Ads, as part of their Better Ads Experience Program. Demonstrating compliance with Better Ads standards that aim to improve the online ad experience for consumers.
