"I appreciate that we're awarding good behavior. That's good parenting, to reward good behavior and eschew the bad. I appreciate we're here honoring those who are doing it right and that we're making a big deal out of ethical behavior, which I believe most of us do every day," Herbert said. "We all have an opportunity to be an example, and we have the opportunity, and the responsibility, to make society better by being a good example."
"We talk about ethics at Mark Miller Subaru because it's so important to our company to do the right thing," Miller said. "It has to be in the DNA of the company."
