"Don't be evil" as a condition of employment the employee is required to sign, makes is part of the contract. I thought "Don't be evil" was just a general non-actionable inspirational BS phrase.
"Don't be evil" is more general than bad corporate governance, or fiduciary negligence, or law violation.

If company really want's to commit into ethical behavior, they should do what Google did but be more specific.
Bind the company into ethical norms legally, and use arbitration where arbitrators are selected by some outside organizations specializing in those ethical issues.
