OK. I'll probably get down voted the hell out of me for writing this but it is useless "core value" statements like this that make my stomach turn.

I'm sure Hitler had a lot of passion too in what he did and that he thought he was making the world a better place.

What passion is can be interpreted in many ways and passion can be down right evil. You might also want to ask supporters of Shia religion what a "better world" actually is. I'm sure it will be different from your vision.

Core values are absolutely pointless for sure, but they are telling how the people at the top think about the world. And because of that alone they are very useful to investors and consumers. IMO
