Dharma Merchant Services

Our mission is to provide excellent service while showing compassion for our environment, our
communities, our customers and ourselves. This compassion is expressed as respect:

Respect for the environment

At Dharma Merchant Services, we employ sustainable business practices. Internally, our company uses
earth-friendly and recycled office products and sustainable energy sources. Externally, we choose to
interface with companies that share the same care for the environment. For example, our web hosting
company is 100% solar-powered.

Respect for our communities

We believe in the need to give back to the communities that sustain us and to show compassion for
those in need. Dedicating 10% of gross profits to charitable organizations that care for sick,
underprivileged, underrepresented and exploited people, animals and land is our way of showing
respect and care for all aspects of our community.

Respect for our customers

A driving force behind the creation of Dharma Merchant Services was to create a company that always
treated its customers with honesty, fairness and a great deal of respect. By consolidating our marketing
focus and reaching out to like-minded companies, we are able to make respecting and upholding our
customers’ values integral to our business.

Respect for ourselves

We set out to make the type of company that we would like to work for: one that cares about the people
who work there and gives them the opportunity to succeed without ever compromising their integrity.
We treat our employees with respect and compassion, and evaluate all work policies on the basis of
their impact on employees’ work-life balance. Our goal is to provide a work environment that fosters a
healthy mind, body and spirit. To help achieve this goal, we practice a daily "clearing" ritual as
described in Sacred Commerce, by Matthew and Terces Engelhart. This practice allows us to clear out
whatever might be preventing us from enjoying the present moment, and set ourselves on a positive
trajectory for the day.
