Out of the four core values the one that would be the hardest for them to achieve would be accountability. Most companies do not want to be accountable for their screw ups nor do they even own up to it once it’s have been proving that they were wrong. Companies can give all the excuses in the world, even try to dodge it as much as possible but will not show their accountability to a situation done by the company.

If your building an organization off your mission statement, the four core values: legal compliance, transparency, identification of conflicts of interest and accountability, then the organization has to stand up for that, its makes the organization your mission statement.
