The purpose is to enable positive benefits from a more technology-empowered society.

Peter Drucker, the esteemed management consultant, once said, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast”. That is not to say strategy is unimportant. But brilliant strategies fail without a strong and empowering culture.
Values are not marketing statements to attract people - they are a fine filter to prevent unaligned people from entering, or remaining in, an organisation.
Everyone's values are different and the ones important here are:
Curiosity
For new ideas, approaches, thinking, for life
Innovation
Continually seeking better ways to deliver positive outcomes
Integrity
Thinking and behaving in ways that are beneficial, truthful and fair to all concerned
Excellence
Striving for the highest standards in all activities
Contribution
Choosing and delivering on activities that will positively contribute to the world
Like a pylon in raging seas, real values stand strong
