- Value [1] Integrity
- As the federal agency entrusted with enforcing and regulating the U.S. securities markets, each member of the SEC staff has
a personal responsibility to demonstrate the highest ethical standards to inspire confidence and trust in one another and
in the public the agency serves.
- Value [2] Fairness
- As an agency with both regulatory and enforcement powers, the SEC must treat investors and market participants fairly in accordance
with the law. As an employer, the SEC must seek to hire and retain a diverse staff, and ensure that all decisions affecting
employees and applicants are fair and ethical. As professionals, the staff must treat all others with respect and dignity.
- Value [3] Accountability
- The SEC staff embraces the responsibility with which it is charged. In carrying out its mission, the staff readily holds itself
accountable to the public it serves and takes personal responsibility for achieving SEC goals.
- Value [4] Resourcefulness
- The SEC staff strives to work creatively, proactively, and effectively in assessing and addressing risk to the securities
markets, the public, and other market participants. The staff is committed to finding flexible and innovative approaches to
the Commission’s work and using independent judgment to explore new ways to fulfill the SEC’s mission in the most efficient
manner possible.
- Value [5] Teamwork
- The SEC recognizes that its success requires a diverse, coordinated team committed to the highest standards of trust, hard
work, cooperation, and communication. The staff is committed to these values and is striving to work more effectively as a
team -- rather than as separate divisions or offices, and to coordinate more effectively with business, governments, and organizations
in the U.S. and abroad.
- Value [6] Commitment to Excellence
- The SEC demands the highest standards of excellence, integrity, commitment, and dedication from its staff. The investing public
and the U.S. securities markets deserve nothing less.
