It was never in the charter. It's not a shield of any sort. It's just a motto in the code of conduct. The motto has since changed but those words are still there, now in the last sentence.

It's meaningless and always has been. Why do people think that this cheesy phrase makes any difference for a giant corporation?

Thanks, I appreciate the correction.

Speaking for myself. I thought it made a difference as part of the charter, with the expectation that overtly evil behavior can be punished eith real teeth (shareholder lawsuits for violating the charter)
