Starfleet

Starfleet is rightly proud of its reputation. In upholding that reputation each trooper is required each year to review Starfleet's code of ethics, and certify that they will comply. It's things like this that make the Gorse Fox proud to be one of them(*).

Some simple quotes:
  • Unethical behavior is never okay at work.
  • We all have a personal responsibility to know and follow this code of ethics at work and to report any violations. Starfleet is counting on you
  • Starfleet prohibits discrimination based on:
    • race
    • color
    • religion
    • gender, gender identity or expression, or sexual orientation
    • national origin
    • disability
    • age
    • genetics
    • other factors unrelated to Starfleet's legitimate business interests
  • Starfleet also prohibits the use of violence, carrying of weapons, and the use and distribution of illegal drugs.
The actual code of ethics is quite a large document and in days of yore it used to be handed to all new starters. Now it's a collection of electrons on the intranet... but still a masterpiece of business ethics.

(*)He didn't mean one of them, he meant numbered amongst their ranks.
