It establishes a foundational typology, differentiating between values statements, corporate credos, and codes of ethics, and outlines their respective purposes and limitations, such as the tension between generality and legalistic specificity. The text introduces seven core principles for creating these documents, covering the entire lifecycle from initial drafting ('Write It') to ongoing integration ('Live It' and 'Enforce It'). The central feature is a compilation of 80 complete or partial ethics statements from a diverse range of international corporations and organizations. Crucially, the book's value is enhanced by a multi-faceted classification system, organized into three distinct indexes. These allow users to navigate the collection by statement type, by specific ethical issues addressed (such as gift-giving or advertising), by one of thirteen core values (including integrity, teamwork, and trust), or by one of more than 26 industries. Beyond presenting the texts, the work provides commentary on each statement and delves into the practical challenges of implementation. It features in-depth discussions of four companies' experiences and concludes with recommendations emphasizing the necessity of top management commitment and the role of visible 'ethics champions' in fostering an ethical organizational culture. Designed for practitioners, academics, and students, the volume acts as both a sourcebook for benchmarking best practices and an illustrative supplement for conceptual ethics education.
