This rather wonderful organisational manifesto is from Sidcot School - a small Quaker school on the edge of the Mendips - and is one of the most succinct and powerful I've seen. The Society of Friends have long been beacons of ethical business standards and with the odd tweak, it could be (and should be) adopted by any business that aims to give a damn.
Our Values
Truth and Integrity: we cherish the truth which enables our young people to develop integrity in what they do and what they think, helping them to build meaningful, lasting relationships.
Equality and Community: we believe all people are of equal worth and aim to build a truly international community that values all individuals and answers the good in everyone.
Peace: we encourage our young people to adopt peaceful methods of dealing with conflict in all its forms, taking both individual and collective responsibility in resolving differences.
Simplicity: we believe in living simply and adventurously, placing charity and concern for others at the centre of what we do.
Sustainability: we believe it is our responsibility to protect the Earth and to teach our young people to treasure and preserve it across the generations.
