Business philosophy when founding of ETIS International:

ETIS circumscribed a conglomeration of 'business design plans' that would take into consideration continuously advancing technologies of the both of two areas.  The first area is comprised of computers, {hardware, software, peripherals}, IT, information systems, communications, {phones, telephony, VOIP, online communication, teleconferencing, online live video, etc.}.  The second area comprised of what can briefly be described as environmental Related.  These include environmental laws and standards, envirotech products, and technologies to reduce unhealthy impacts on the environment.  The conglomeration of these two were circumscribed, and was then made tangible, materialized for interspersed business. Now, this, what some view as a field, is popularly referred to as, environmental technology, envirotech, and vernacular.  Tangible in this context means developing a product line, and identifying viable clients for their brokerage. This in toto was once an area of business that had virtually no analyzability because there were very few or relatively almost no competitors to contrast.
 
The scope of products and business exchange was chosen to be international, thence ETIS International, whereas two of the primary reasons for this:

  1. Ensuring an available spectrum of products to choose from.  Some geographic areas were further advanced than others in terms of having envirotech products accessible for acquisition.
  2. ETIS foresaw upon its founding, a dramatic increase of business exchange on the international plane, such as what we have today, with almost limitless buying and selling possibilities resultant of the prevalence of internet and online transactions.

Legal compliance:

What makes ETIS International and this website safe, as a source for your business, individual, environmental, computer, and IT needs?
At this day and age, those of us that are sincerely concerned and committed to protecting, conserving, and bettering the environment, along with those of us that seek to acquire, use, provide, and maintain the cutting-edge of computer and information technologies, have been met with both advantages and challenges pertinent the legal aspects of it all.

Of the most obvious of these, is the stage-set which these advantages and challenges rest upon, the internet, and its provision of online business transactions, including buying, selling, trading, marketing, and advertising.  In addition, depending on the vantage point, the platform for online business makes for more complicated, or simplified, international transactions.

Before the prevalence of the internet to facilitate and which has capacity as conduit for international business, inherent in international business law  were piers such as designation of duties of all parties involved, agreements, administering to taxes, tariffs, import and export laws, all of which were at least partially the responsibility of all those involved in the actual transactions.  Now, although many of these laws, and more, exist, online business transactions have reduced the responsibilities for buyers and sellers, the result being, the bulk of what remains is the absolute act of buying and selling using your computer keypad; thence, international business simplified in this regard.  Legal responsibilities for instance, such as environmental objectives stated in NAFTA, are already mostly subsumed by online transaction.  Obversely, while with the internet, a significantly vaster amount of the market can be reached in drastically reduced amount of time, if having to keep up with local laws for each locale per business transaction was still requisite, it would be nearly an impossible task to manage.

Although much of the work for international transaction legal compliance has been dissolved for the buyer and seller, by means of the online medium, there still remain core legal responsibilities that businesses engaging in internet marketing and selling must maintain compliance to, even as newer laws emerge.

Integrity:

Integrity pertinent to this website is to what degree a product is environmentally safer. ETIS markets computers. ETIS also has designated categories for computers that are manufactured by companies renown as environmentally responsible. There are companies marketed in both channels; albeit, computers/companies which might not be marketed through the environmentally responsible category channel, are not because, either thorough market research has not yet been done on them, or it is not applicable. This what is meant by integrity. ETIS is not going to claim an ascription to a product when it cannot be upheld. 

ETIS makes a conscientious effort not to market products and companies that overtly harm the environment.
