Trust, but verify.

I want to see some assurance. I don't know Switzerland's laws, but if there's a concept of a "social purpose company" or something with actual legal teeth, that would make me a bit more comfortable.

They're certainly better than Google, and I like that their products are audited, but words from their founder don't need much, especially if the founder decides to leave.
