Purposes and Values The leading section of the code typically provides an abbreviated mission statement followed by values. This section states what the company is all about, what it does, why it exists. Ideally the code will state practical financial objectives as well as less precise social and professional aspirations. The statement of values, similarly, will begin with narrowly defined statements and expand on these. Obeying all pertinent laws and regulations may be the initial value; adherence to higher ethical values will be spelled out next. Corporations engaged in some professional specialty (engineering, medicine, law, etc.) may explicitly refer to professional standards and standard-setting bodies.
