General Principles

Executive branch employees hold their positions as a public trust and American citizens have a right to expect that all employees will place loyalty to the Constitution, laws and ethical principles above private gain. Employees fulfill that trust by adhering to general principles of ethical conduct as well as specific ethical standards.

Executive Order 12674 issued by President Bush in 1989 and modified in 1990 by Executive Order 12731 states 14 general principles that broadly define the obligations of public service. Underlying these 14 principles are two core concepts - -

employees shall not use public office for private gain, and

employees shall act impartially and not give preferential treatment to any private organization or individual.
In addition, employees must strive to avoid any action that would create the appearance that they are violating the law or ethical standards.

By observing these general principles, employees help to ensure that citizens have complete confidence in the integrity of Government operations and programs.

Here's a nice little story about your friendly neighborhood cement plant. It's about Lafarge, the largest cement producer. If you have a little extra time you should read it. It is highly illuminating on the character of the cement industry and its business tactics.
