Dear reader,
When we founded Katanox driving sustainable growth through a fair marketplace for our travel buyers and accommodation suppliers has always been central to our strategy. Our values guide every step towards building a tech-first distribution and financial technology platform. Our values help us to maintain our culture - We are direct but polite, and we are straightforward with our communication in a constructive way without sugarcoating our message to sharpen our ideas and make good decisions to build an ethical business.
Underpinning all of this is a simple but basic principle that we should always do what is right and it is not enough to just go by what is allowed.
Hereby we are pleased to present Katanox’s Code of Conduct (the “Code”). The Code sets out the standards of behavior and conduct to which we, as a platform and payments institution, have to adhere.
We have accountability for our customers and partners, society and investors, and each other. Earning and maintaining the trust of these stakeholders is fundamental. Our Code should be at the heart of everything we do. It is designed to ensure that we conduct ourselves ethically and in accordance with Katanox’s policies and procedures as well as the laws and regulations. Our social responsibility efforts are guided by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as they reflect the key societal and environmental causes.
The Code also articulates what our company stands for and what we want our overall culture to be. We want to foster an environment where people can talk about how they feel and what they believe. Where opinions count and “speaking up” is valued. The company’s success is built on respect, collaboration, and teamwork, and it is guided by our values in serving our customers and partners, stakeholders, and society in general. In order not to fall into clichés, we keep each other sharp by not avoiding discussions and differences of opinion.
We want to build an ethical business by driving a culture of ethical conduct. Acting according to these standards is vital for us to achieve sustainable success.

Hospitality is one of the oldest and most unusual industries permanently influenced by external factors. There has been a lot of expansion and very little innovation. The existing players have been quite reluctant to innovate, which creates barriers to growth. We are here to bring innovation to the hospitality distribution backbone and make it effortless for travel buyers to build direct relationships with accommodation suppliers such as hotels in a fair and transparent marketplace.
We are travel's growth engine, unifying direct distribution and financial infrastructure for the hospitality industry. Accommodation suppliers and buyers can manage direct contracting, connectivity, payments and reconciliation in one platform. Katanox simplifies and integrates all aspects of hospitality business operations to eliminate obstacles by providing a cohesive and efficient engine to drive growth in the travel industry.
We are committed to a culture that appropriately aligns risks and rewards. To deliver this, we aim to attract and develop talented individuals. We foster teamwork, partnership, and inclusion, trusting that each of us will deliver to the expected standards.
Through our company values and culture, we embrace autonomous decision-making to guarantee the speedy achievement of our milestones. This brought us to a set of values that we seek in new hires and train us and our team on.
