Corporate core values are defined as the fixed, unchanging, guiding
principles of conduct and ethics that shape and govern the conduct of a company in the business world and the world at large: business practices and strategies endless adapt and change while core values remain fixed and unchanging. Core values are expressed as part of the mission statement: while the concise pronouncement of core values may be brief and undetailed in the mission statement, an addendum may be attached, as is the case with adidas' statements, that elaborates in detail on the core values. adidas' mission statement pronouncement of core values says: "We are a global organization that is socially and environmentally responsible, that embraces creativity and diversity, and is financially rewarding for our employees and shareholders." adidas' expanded statement of core values: adidas Group [Core] Values Performance Sport is the foundation for all we do and executional excellence is a core value of our Group. Passion Passion is at the heart of our company. We are continuously moving forward, innovating, and improving. Integrity We are honest, open, ethical, and fair. People trust us to adhere to our word. Diversity We know it takes people with different ideas, strengths, interests, and cultural backgrounds to make our company succeed. We encourage healthy debate and differences of opinion. The detail elaborating the concise mission statement of core values ("socially and environmentally responsible, that embraces creativity and diversity, and is financially rewarding for our employees and shareholders") includes
education, innovation and improvement, integrity, ethicality, honesty, trust,
respect for peoples' and cultures' differences. These details are added to the earlier details of social and environmental responsibility, high value production, and matching or exceeding expectations.
