The people of Boeing
have faced tough ethical decisions. Here’s how some of them have
acted—and information on what employees should know to make the
right call. Several high-profile ethics issues have cast shadows on the integrity of Boeing and its people. Yet every day, the people of Boeing demonstrate their commitment to ethical behavior. "It is important to remember that there are many instances of positive news about our company, and that we are growing healthier every day through increased awareness such as training, education, improved processes and recommitment sessions," said Martha Ries, Boeing vice president for Ethics and Business Conduct. "Every Boeing employee plays a part in our ethical climate by learning more about ethics, by asking more questions, by 'doing the right thing,' and by seeking help when necessary." This package of stories details instances of how Boeing employees are helping support ethical actions. It offers Ries' insight on the ethics environment within Boeing, explains the role of the Office of Internal Governance, and lists Ethics and Business Conduct's contact information. It also takes an ethical "pulse check" among the people of Boeing.

"The
people I work with are professional and ethical. We work closely
together and trust each other, and integrity is part of that trust.
So, how can there not be integrity if you have trust?"
"I
believe that Boeing employees act with integrity. Boeing promotes
that open, honest communication and doing the right thing are the
set of values we should come to work with and operate under." 
"I
would say most Boeing employees act with integrity and good ethics.
Every barrel has a few bad apples, but for the most part Boeing
people act with integrity. In those cases where they don't, there
are numerous programs and contact people you can inform to correct
those actions." 
"I
am optimistic enough to think most of us give it our best effort.
Personally, I have very high standards. Some things that make me
uncomfortable, that I think are wrong, others might see differently,
and they might be OK with it. The key is to take the high road:
When in doubt, don't do it."
