At Honeywell, our values are constantly communicated and employees are held accountable to behave in a way that aligns.  We have a Business Code of Conduct that clearly outlines what is acceptable and not. For example, it is clear that employees are not allowed to accept gifts from customers, bribe foreign officials to gain advantage, and that employees are expected to respect each other and behave professionally.  There are many other items outlined in our Code.
