At Alphabet, Google's 'Don't be evil' gives way to 'Do the right thing'

Google's new parent company hit the stock market with an inked credo to 'Do the right thing' -- a spin on the founding principle 'Don't be evil.'
"Employees of Alphabet and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates should do the right thing -- follow the law, act honorably, and treat each other with respect," the company said in a code of conduct posted online.
Alphabet subsidiaries include Google, Nest Labs, and Google X labs devoted to big-vision new technologies such as self-driving cars. Alphabet called on employees to also follow codes of conduct established by subsidiaries for which they work. "We rely on one another's good judgment to uphold a high standard of integrity for ourselves and our company," the Alphabet code said.
