Enron’s Code of Ethics


As jury selection begins in the trial of former Enron executives Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling, The Smoking Gun has made the ill-fated company’s 64-page employee ethics guide available for download.

Excerpt:

Relations with the Company’s many publics — customers, stockholders, governments, employees, suppliers, press, and bankers — will be conducted in honesty, candor, and fairness.

Sometimes marketers and PR people get caught up in how a company talks about itself; that, after all, is central to our job.

But we would urge you to take a step back periodically and ask yourself, “Is my company (or client) living by the values it communicates?”

If it’s not, you’ve allowed yourself to become part of a lie.

Your integrity is too important to let slip away, molecule by molecule, without stopping to take notice.
