Our commitment
Fair
Our team members treat each other with respect and the individual skills, opinions and contributions of each person are valued. An atmosphere of mutual respect creates a productive, sustainable and motivating working environment at ORCA.
The same applies to our customers: Fair dealings with our customers involve clear and transparent communication. ORCA customers are regularly kept well informed about the progress, opportunities and challenges of a project.
Sustainable
Our sustainable software development refers to approaches and practices that aim to develop environmentally friendly, socially acceptable and economically sustainable software solutions.
Sustainable software development requires a holistic approach that goes beyond purely technical implementation. By considering diverse approaches and making conscious decisions, developers can help to develop more environmentally conscious and long-term viable software solutions.
Local
Our location in Pratteln enables close cooperation within the team. The physical proximity facilitates direct communication and personal exchange. This allows problems and challenges to be discussed quickly and solutions to be developed efficiently. This promotes a high level of efficiency and ensures a smooth workflow.
Without exception, we develop everything locally in-house - saving resources and time.
Where we participate:
Regular donation to free software projects
Donations make it possible for FOSS projects to flourish. They help cover the costs of infrastructure, hosting services, servers, domain names and other operational expenses. In addition, donations allow developers to focus on their work by providing them with financial support to meet their basic needs and devote their time to developing free software projects.

Sponsored projects
Our honey, produced locally by our employee Nicole, is more than just a delicious treat. It stands for our connection with nature and the appreciation of sustainable practices. Nicole's bees live in an almost untouched environment, far away from harmful pesticides, resulting in a pure and natural product.
With every spoonful of honey, we not only support the bee population and the preservation of the environment, but also our passionate local beekeeper Nicole. We are proud to support local economies and communities, and honey as a customer gift directly contributes to supporting this positive impact.

Open source development
Our involvement in the development of open source projects gives us access to high-quality software components. We use open source tools and libraries to implement our own projects faster and more efficiently.
Collaboration on open source projects offers the community many advantages. It enables all developers to share their expertise and work together on innovative solutions. As a result, potential errors are quickly rectified, suggestions for improvement are made and the software is adapted to various requirements. This promotes the transparency and quality of the software, leads to faster development cycles and contributes to the creation of a lively and dynamic developer community.
As orca sponsors, we directly support specific WWF projects that promote the protection of endangered species worldwide. Your support makes it possible to protect habitats, combat poaching, conduct research and monitoring and implement educational programs.
Every sponsorship counts and makes a difference. Together we can ensure that the fascinating world of orcas is preserved for future generations.

100% green electricity
Our in-house infrastructure is powered exclusively by EBL Green, a green electricity that is more than just a name - it is a commitment to the environment and the future.
EBL Grün relies 100% on renewable energies such as solar, biomass, geothermal and small-scale hydropower. By making this conscious choice, we are actively helping to minimize our ecological footprint and reduce our environmental impact. Sustainability is not just a buzzword for us, but an integral part of our corporate philosophy.
We are proud to make a significant contribution to the education of young people, particularly in the field of IT. Several motivated and talented young people are completing an apprenticeship with us as computer scientists EFZ application development.
Our decision to invest in the training of these young talents goes far beyond a purely operational measure. We see this as a commitment to the next generation and a strategic investment in the future.
