Principle 1: TRUTHFULNESS IN REPRESENTATION
Against Lying
The enterprise shall represent its products, services, pricing, terms, and capabilities honestly.
Preamble
An enterprise has neither a body to be kicked nor a soul to be damned, and yet it employs people with both, serves customers who have both, and operates in communities sustained by both. The absence of a corporate soul does not excuse the absence of corporate conscience.
Principle 2: SYMMETRY OF ENTRY AND EXIT
Against Entrapment
The enterprise shall make it no more difficult to leave than it was to arrive.
Principle 3: HONOR OF COMMITMENTS
Against Faithlessness
The enterprise shall fulfill its contractual and implied obligations.
Principle 4: STEWARDSHIP OF ENTRUSTED DATA
Against Betrayal of Confidence
The enterprise shall treat personal data as a sacred trust, not a commercial asset.
Principle 5: FAIRNESS IN DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Against Cowardice
The enterprise shall face legitimate complaints rather than hiding behind process, delay, or mandatory arbitration.
Principle 6: ACCOUNTABILITY OF GOVERNANCE
Against Idolatry of Self-Preservation
The enterprise’s officers and governors shall be personally accountable for institutional conduct.
Principle 7: PROPORTIONALITY OF CONSEQUENCE
Against Murder of Livelihood
The enterprise shall not impose consequences disproportionate to the actual harm or cost incurred.
Principle 8: PROTECTION OF THE VULNERABLE
Against Exploitation
The enterprise shall not target, exploit, or take advantage of individuals in positions of vulnerability.
Adoption
Any enterprise may voluntarily adopt the Code of Good Faith Stewardship by publishing their commitment on their corporate website and notifying WellSpr.ing. Adoption is noted in the WellCheck response.
