Business Ethics
Trustworthy, Fair and Ethical

NET(net) is committed to being ethical in all aspects of its business. To this end, we have created an ethics agreement to illustrate what we consider to be ethical business practices to help clients, employees, partners, suppliers, charitable organizations and others understand our guiding principles on how to conduct good, loyal, long term successful business.

We favor a strategic, long term approach in our business dealings - and strive to help our clients create true business partnerships that offer maximum strategic value and financial effectiveness and are customized to fit our client's specific business requirements. In addition, we believe organizations should be financially rewarded for engaging in good, long-term, loyal business partnerships, but too often we see short sighted views of success, measured on a quarterly basis. We believe there is a better way to do business. A longer, more strategic focus on business value in your key supplier relationships can offer you improved strategic value, economic success and strengthened, more focused business partnerships.

OVERVIEW: Six Key Elements in our Foundation (RITE-IQ)

NET(net), Inc. is an "IT Investment Optimization" company. Our continued growth, profitability, and prosperity are linked to our employees’ ability to make decisions that are consistent with NET(net)’s business values and core ethical principles. By embedding these business values and principles in our policies and practices, NET(net) has established an ethical business culture that is accepted by its employees and woven into the fabric of the ways in which we work. We are an exceptional company, committed to:

Respect
We treat others, as we would want to be treated - attentive to personal dignity and receptive to diversity of ideas. We recognize the value that comes from respecting individuality, personal experience, and varied backgrounds and heritages.

Innovation
We build on our heritage of excellence through creative thinking, novel ideas, and practical solutions. Client success is enhanced through our leadership, our industry leading Federated Market Intelligence, our Optimization Analysis and our proven processes and methodologies. We encourage, recognize, and reward our employees for being creative, resourceful, and productive.

Teamwork
We value teams because they promote trust, openness, challenge, opportunity and growth. We join with each other, our clients, our partners and our suppliers to provide high-value solutions to complex problems, requirements, and demands.

Ethics
We are honest and forthright in our dealings with shareholders, board members, officers, clients, employees, vendors, partners, suppliers, competitors, and the community. We conduct our business with respect for laws and regulations, and we promote individual responsibility to ensure that all actions are based on the highest ethical standards.

Involvement
We give back to the communities in which we live and work. And, we give back to the communities in which our clients live and work. We serve as stewards of philanthropy - and strive to leave the world better for having been a good corporate citizen in the global marketplace. We have an Integrated Philanthropy Model in which we donate 1% of our company revenue, equity and employee time to Charity. Our client facing Integrated Philanthropy Program allows our clients to participate in directing the revenue portion of our contributions to the authorized charity of their choosing.

Quality
We believe that quality and continuous process improvement are fundamental to the way we develop and support our services. We are client-driven, striving to meet and exceed expectations in all that we do.
These principles support and guide our leadership in establishing the strategic direction of the company. Our employees, representatives, and suppliers are expected to conduct their business in accordance with these ethical principles. We must do more than be compliant with laws, regulations and policies; we must work according to our ethical principles and endeavor to conduct ourselves in a manner beyond reproach. NET(net)’s reputation is based on the personal integrity of each of its employees and those with whom we do business. Sound judgment must be exercised in the service of our reputation as a global business leader, employer of choice, and excellent corporate citizen.
