Howdy RC, I showed your document to Coyote, he yelped and barked and generally carried on so as I had to plug my ears for all the racket. After things calmed down, he sent me here.
http://thesmokinggun.com/enron/enronethics1.html Coyote recommended it to me, and I to you. Can we get more businesses to sign on to this pledge? Coyote sez, "They're lining up to sign".

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 Richard
