Good Morning!
CODE OF ETHICS
Again, the gnarly challenge of ethics in business. I thought
you might appreciate seeing The McDonnell Douglas Corporation's
Code of Ethics. Lots of Biblical truth here:
"Integrity and ethics exist in the individual or
they do not exist at all. They must be upheld by individuals
or they are not upheld at all. In order for integrity and ethics
to be characteristic of McDonnell Douglas, we who make up the
corporation must strive to be:
Honest and trustworthy in all our relationships.
Reliable in carrying out assignments and responsibilities.
Truthful and accurate in what we say and write.
Cooperative and constructive in all work undertaken.
Fair and considerate in our treatment of fellow employees,
customers, and all other persons.
Law abiding in all our activities.
Committed to accomplishing all tasks in a superior way.
Economical in utilizing company resources.
Dedicated in service to our company and to improvement of
the quality of life in the world in which we live.
"Integrity and high standards of ethics require hard work,
courage, and difficult choices...Integrity and ethics may sometimes
require us to forgo business opportunities. In the
long run, however, we will be better served by doing what is right
rather that what is expedient."
I am reminded of Proverbs 14:34:
"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace
to any people."
May God help us.
