Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice
of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®
Effective January 1, 2002
Preamble…
Under all is the land. Upon its wise utilization and widely allocated
ownership depend the survival and growth of free institutions and of
our civilization. REALTORS® should recognize that the interests of
the nation and its citizens require the highest and best use of the land
and the widest distribution of land ownership. They require the
creation of adequate housing, the building of functioning cities, the
development of productive industries and farms, and the preservation
of a healthful environment.
Such interests impose obligations beyond those of ordinary commerce.
They impose grave social responsibility and a patriotic duty to which

MSETM 5110 – Ethics for Technology Managers
Preamble…(cont’d.) NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS
REALTORS should dedicate themselves, and for which they should be
diligent in preparing themselves. REALTORS, therefore, are zealous
to maintain and improve the standards of their calling and share with
their fellow REALTORS a common responsibility for its integrity and
honor.
In recognition and appreciation of the obligations to clients, customers, the
public, and each other, REALTORS continuously strive to become and
remain informed on issued affecting real estate and, as knowledgeable
professionals, they willingly share the fruit of their experience and
study with others. They identify and take steps, through enforcement
of this Code of Ethics and by assisting appropriate regulatory bodies,
to eliminate practices which may damage the public or which might
discredit or bring dishonor to the real estate profession. REALTORS
having direct personal knowledge of conduct that may violate the Code
of Ethics involving misappropriation of client or customer funds

or property, willful discrimination, or fraud resulting in substantial
economic harm, bring such matters to the attention of the appropriate
Board of Association of REALTORS. (Amended 1/00)
Realizing the cooperation with other real estate professionals promotes the
best interests of those who utilize their services, REALTORS urge
exclusive representation of clients; do not attempt to gain any unfair
advantage over their competitors; and they refrain from making
unsolicited comments about other practitioners. In instances where
their opinion is sought, or where REALTORS believe that comment is
necessary, their opinion is offered in an objective, professional manner,
uninfluenced by any personal motivation or potential advantage or
gain.
The term REATORS has come to connote competency, fairness, and high
integrity resulting from adherence to a lofty ideal of moral conduct in
11
MSETM 5110 – Ethics for Technology Managers
Preamble…(cont’d.) NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS
Business relations. No inducement of profit and no instruction from
clients ever can justify departure from this ideal.
In the interpretation of this obligation, REALTORS can take no safer
guide than that which has been handed down through the centuries,
embodied in the Golden Rule, “Whatsoever ye would that others
should do to you, do ye even so to them.”
Accepting this standard as their own, REALTORS pledge to observe its
spirit in all of their activities and to conduct their business in
accordance with the tenets set forth below.

Listening, Learning and Changing: The Path to Corporate
Responsibility at Phillip Morris Companies
(Rotary Club of Fresno - July 15, 2002)
David P. Nicoli
Vice President, Corporate Affairs Strategy and Social Responsibility
Phillip Morris Management Corporation
--------------------------------------
Phillip Morris Companies is actually a holding company whose businesses
make up the world’s largest consumer packaged goods company.
We own Phillip Morris U.S.A., the nation’s largest cigarette manufacturer;
Phillip Morris International, one of the largest
17
MSETM 5110 - Ethics for Technology Managers

(cont’d.)
international cigarette manufacturers; and Kraft Foods, the nation’s
largest food company, and the second largest in the world.
We are a Fortune 10 global company with 169,000 employees worldwide
and operations in about 100 countries.
First, we are working to create a values-based culture; one in which we
demonstrate integrity, honesty, respect and tolerance.
To do it right, we have to hardwire integrity into our food and tobacco
businesses at every level so that each individual, from our CEO to our
factory workers, takes responsibility of doing the right thing.

MSETM 5110 - Ethics for Technology Managers
Phillip Morris Companies (cont’d.)
Last year, Phillip Morris Companies appointed a Chief Compliance
Officer. His job is to make sure that every employee worldwide has
the information, training and tools to live up to our commitment to
responsible behavior.
Later this year, he will take the lead in introducing an expanded Corporate
Code of Conduct enterprise-wide.
19
MSETM 5110 - Ethics for Technology Managers
Phillip Morris Companies (cont’d.)
But to go beyond compliance and drive integrity into everything we do, he
is reinforcing that code by helping management and employees
focus on four key questions before making a significant business
decision:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Is it legal?
Is it consistent with company policy?
Is it right?
And how would it look to the outside world?

Biogen
Biology has entered the “post-genomics” era. We believe the significance
of the mapping of the human genome will surpass that of the original
genetic-engineering revolution of the 1970s. This will lead to more
efficient identification of breakthrough biological molecules and
targeted drug design from which the next generation of
biopharmaceutical drugs will emerge.
Currently, scientists understand the function and importance of only about
10 percent of the genes in the human genome. During the next decade,
we anticipate an extraordinary amount of new information will become
available.
21
MSETM 5110 - Ethics for Technology Managers
Biogen (cont’d.)
We believe that Biogen, with its extraordinary depth of experience in
Biological research, is uniquely positioned to be among the companies
that figure out which genes are therapeutically useful and
commercially valuable. Our core research strength is the rapid
discovery of new drug candidates by capitalizing on our biology
expertise to accelerate the elucidation of gene function.

export control rules, a complicated area of law and taxation.
Employees are encouraged to seek expertise whenever they are in

traveling overseas with a laptop computer.
