Exhibit 14.1
EMC/2/
where information lives
Dear Fellow Employees:
Integrity is an essential EMC corporate value. Through the years, EMC employees
have conducted themselves with integrity. EMC is committed to continuing that
tradition, and we expect our employees and agents to share that commitment. We
demonstrate integrity through ethical conduct, honesty, accountability, respect
for others, and compliance with the law.
In most cases, your own sense of right and wrong, sound judgment, and common
sense will lead you to the appropriate course of action. However, EMC recognizes
that the business environment in which we function is complex. Therefore, the
Office of the General Counsel has prepared these Guidelines to provide you with
information about the standards of integrity and professional and ethical
conduct that you are expected to maintain. Each of you is responsible for
complying with these Guidelines. EMC managers are also responsible for
monitoring compliance within their organizations.
Because many situations are unique, these Guidelines are not intended to provide
you with comprehensive solutions to every issue that may arise. Instead, they
are intended to raise your awareness, to provide you with a reference if you are
uncertain, and to encourage you to come forward to your manager or the Office of
the General Counsel with any ethical or legal problems you may encounter.
Integrity and compliance with laws are essential to our continued success.
Besides its intrinsic value, integrity is essential to EMC's long-term
relationships with our most vital constituency, our customers. The failure of
any EMC employee to act with integrity and in a lawful manner can result in
severe consequences for the employee and the company. I urge you to familiarize
yourself with these Guidelines and follow them closely.
Sincerely,
Joseph M. Tucci
President and Chief Executive Officer
