Agreed - these kind of boilerplate statements are so common that they virtually carry no weight anymore. It's almost just a standard "checkbox platitude" that any large size company will be expected to mention as a default response. (These statements are probably just there to provide some level of deniability when an employee does something bad, to say that it's not part of the company culture - which may or may not be true)
As an example, Enron: "We are dedicated to conducting business according to all applicable local and international laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and with the highest professional and ethical standards" [0]
