This Flier, Setting the Standard, has
been adopted by THE____________COMPANY as our Company's Code of
Ethics and Business Conduct. It summarizes the virtues and principals that
are to guide our actions in business. We expect our representatives,
consultants, contractors and suppliers to be guided by them as
well.
There are numerous resources available to assist
you in meeting the challenge of performing your duties and
responsibilities. There can be no better course of action for you than to
apply common sense and sound judgement to the manner in which you conduct
yourself. However, do not hesitate to use the resources that are available
whenever it is necessary to seek clarification.
The ________COMPANY aims to "set the
standard" for ethical business conduct. We will achieve this through six
virtues: Honesty, Integrity, Respect, Trust, Responsibility, and
Citizenship.
....Honesty: to be truthful in all our
endeavors; to be honest and forthright with one another and with
our representatives, customers, communities,
and suppliers.
....Integrity: to say what we mean, to
deliver what we promise, and to stand for what is right.
....Respect: to treat one another with
dignity and fairness, appreciating the diversity of our workforce and the
uniqueness of each employee.
....Trust:
to build confidence through teamwork and open, candid
communication.
....Responsibility: to speak up - without
fear of retribution - and report concerns in the work place, .including violations of laws, regulations and
company policies, and seek clarification and guidance whenever there is
doubt.
....Citizenship: to obey all the laws of the
United States and the other countries in which we do ....business and to do our part to make the
communities in which we live better.
You can count on us to do everything in our power
to meet THE ________COMPANY'S standards. We are counting on you to
do the same. We are confident that our trust in you is well placed and we
are determined to be worhty of your trust.
I see more and more Companies adopt this
statement as a code of conduct ..BUT ??
I see NO US
government agencies adopt it. They have a " Mission Statement" BUT NO
ETHICS STATEMENT
