At General Dynamics, the message is clear: we conduct business with integrity. For us, ethics isn’t an intangible standard. It’s very practical, because it’s about behavior. We are in business to earn a fair return for our shareholders and, in doing so, we will use assets wisely, deal fairly with others, and deliver on promises – to each other, to customers, and any other stakeholders. These are our Business Ethics Principles that guide our business conduct every day.” —Anne Harris, Staff Vice President — Ethics & Administration
