Values statements are usually somewhere between a wish list and propaganda.

My cynical take is that a company's stated values are exactly the opposite of the behavior you'll find most common in the company.

It makes sense. When leadership speaks topdown in principles, they want some kind of change to happen, so whatever being communicated can be presumed to not be there before.
