Corporate Ethics

Tarsis.net is committed to a strong ethics in our daily work. The first object of such philosophy is, of course, the customer: A beneficial relationship both for our customers and for us can only be attained when the core of such relationship is trust. This makes us work beside our customers with honesty and responsibility.

Once we stablish a relationship with them, we are conscious that we must be a technological support in an ever-changing world in which they sometimes do not feel confident.

We only work in our field of expertise, and only provide what we know. Tarsis.net does not seek a great amount of customers, great expansion and a diversification of the services included in our portfolio. We have expertise in certain fields we excel at, and we can offer a satisfactory service over concrete subjects to a certain group of customers. From this point of view, Tarsis.net does not intend to have many customers but a reduced number of them, loyal and satisfied with whom to keep long-term relationships.

Tarsis.net is committed to open technologies, not with proprietary environments. This means that we are not related with particular vendors or brands, and that our point of view is that of our customers, not other spurious interests to represent.

Our business-oriented mindset makes us conscious of the fact that technological solutions are rarely adequate if they do not have a positive repercussion on our customers' business. Our proposals always take into account the cost of the solution for the customer and the benefits that it provides. Technology is not an end on itself but a way to improve business conditions for our clients.

Our customers fully trust on the confidentiality of their data. Information about their company or about themselves is sacred for us. We do not sell, share or transfer any kind of information, not personal, nor business-related, nor industrial. We actively fight spam and encourage our customers to do the same. We protect their company's confidential information so that no-one else can use it for their own benefit.

Social Responsibility

Tarsis.net wants to make a better world. Thus we try to contribute to the improvement of the telecommunications industry, which will in turn improve the overall quality of service.

A portion of our income goes to non-lucrative organisations that work to offer services free from the servitudes of maximal profit and monopolistic practices (open-source software, free operative systems, etc.).

We also fight spam and viruses which, besides being a risk for Internet users, bring noise into the communication process and restricts its performance. We denounce and encourage our customers to denounce all received spam, and cooperate with organisations with this mission.

Besides, we take part in the prosecution of Internet fraud, cooperating with the authorities whenever necessary.

The organisations with which Tarsis.net cooperates, through donations or other resources, are:

  • Free Software Foundation
  • Electronic Frontier Foundation
  • Linux
  • The FreeBSD Project
  • WordPress
  • Drupal
  • HumHub
  • Wikipedia
  • Archive.org

Environment

Tarsis.net is an environmental-friendly company and is committed to environmental responsibility. For that reason we use low-impact technologies, low power consumption and recycled materials, and we make a point in publicising our environmental policies.

We recycle all our residues: packaging, toner cartridges, plastics and paper, non-chargeable batteries… every element is put in its corresponding container for recycling.

We follow a limited consumption philosophy in all aspects of our everyday operations, using low-consumption and LED bulbs, limiting the water consumption, seeking alternatives to paper, etc.

We also help our customers to reduce paper use. A website is a good way of keeping contact with customers, partners and employees without having to issue paper brochures, newsletters or letters. Emailings may be used instead, with links to the appropriate web content.

We use bleach-free recycled paper in all the documents we issue, if an electronic format is not possible. This way we reduce tree-cutting and water and power consumption associated to the production of new paper.

We use rechargeable batteries for our electronic devices.

We encourage telecommuting among our employees. If they can work from home, they will not need to use transportation to our premises, this way reducing air pollution.

We do not host web services incompatible with animal welfare and environmental protection. To this end, we have created an strict company policy regarding websites encouraging animal torture, tree-cutting, air pollution, etc.

As you may see, we do not only offer a service and bill for it; we also take into account the social responsibility any company should honour in the 21st century.
