Italian term or phrase: valori umani
Hi. I am trying to work out a non-cheesy translation for this term
" L'azienda coniuga abilita' imprenditoriale e profondi valori umani"

I also don't want to use "values" if possible because the term is repeated several times in the preceding sentences.. i.e., "ha portato i suoi valori", "aziende ricche di valori", etc.

Thanks :)

Explanation:
What exactly is meant with "values"needs to be seen.
It's not quite the same, but perhaps another way of putting the idea forward..

Explanation:
La mia prima proposta sarebbe 'human values' però siccome non vuoi usare la parola 'values' queste sono due alternative che rendono più o meno la stessa idea...

agree  Oliver Lawrence: natural but vague - is it talking about employee relations, community responsibility, or what?
