Mission and value statements, believe them or not?




Just about every company that takes on Corporate Social Responsibility expresses it in much the same way ----- in terms of commitments ( and enhancements ), as in:


1.   Our mission is to be our customers' favorite place and way to eat and drink. Our operations are aligned around a strategy which centers on an exceptional customer experience – People, Products, Place, Price and Promotion. We are committed to continuously improving our operations and enhancing our customers' experience.

2.   We operate our business ethically. Sound ethics is good business. We hold ourselves and conduct our business to high standards of fairness, honesty, and integrity. We are individually accountable and collectively responsible.

3.   We grow our business profitably. As such, we work to provide sustained profitable growth for our shareholders. This requires a continuous focus on our customers.

4.   We are committed to our people. We provide opportunity, nurture talent, develop leaders and reward excellent performers. We believe that a team of well-trained employees with diverse background and experiences, working together in an environment that fosters mutual respect, is essential to our continued success.

5.   These values reflect the ethics, goals and standards that the company and its people aspire to operate by --- to achieve and sustain.

  • Placing integrity and honesty above all else.
  • Putting clients first.
  • Creating value for clients...etc.

6.   Learn more about our goals and performance in the area of sustainability and corporate social responsibility. 

7.   We’re committed to offering high-quality, ethically purchased and responsibly produced products.

8.   We are committed to providing information to all our stakeholders in a clear and open way.

9.   We are committed to establishing greater transparency and access to information.

10. We are committed to providing you with a quality service and will make every effort to resolve the matter you have raised.

11. Commitment to these principles enhances the Department's ability to attract and retain staff, maximize staff potential, and enhance the employment climate.

You might want to believe them. You might even persuade yourself that you do. But there's something about the way they talk that doesn't ring true. It doesn't ring false, for that matter. In fact, it doesn't ring at all.

  1. 最近城中熱門話題,除了政改,便是"勿當奴"事件。因為好奇,午飯後有些少休息時間,便在網上搜尋它總公司的 "新聞閱覽室"
    (Newsroom),一心想看看它怎樣回應,但十分失望,最近的新聞仍是五月的,沒有什麼好看。

    百無聊賴,隨意在網上瀏覽,發覺一個有趣的現象,很多公司的使命 (mission) 和價值觀 (values) 都用上了承諾 (commit)、加強
    (enhance ) 等字眼,驟眼看還以為這些公司請同一個企業管理顧問寫的。還有,連美國國務院 (U.S. Department of States)
    的使命也被人質疑,信不信由你,有些網友說美國暗中支助一些機構 (NED,NDI,NGO etc) 在別國攪顏色革命 (color revolution),
    似乎是有根據的。
