The companies values can be summed up in this statement from Michael J. Roberts, "There are a lot of ways to make money in the world. It seems to us that in business people make money either by adding value to peoples' lives or by taking advantage of their weaknesses. I believe that there is no success in profits gained from the latter. It is, indeed, a great failure of character. At the end of the day, if you can't be proud of how you made someone's life better, then why do business at all? Because no amount of money can buy the satisfaction of knowing that you are doing something truly innovative that adds significant value to someone's day."
