IIRC, historically the trade guild codes of ethics were about how the guild members were to interact with each other, as in not undercutting to steal work or denigrate competitors for work, etc., and not with any sort of social objectives in society as a whole.

That ethics bit kind of flies in the face of history, though. Trade
guilds were nothing if not bodies to enforce codes of ethics (as well
as provide social security, representatives in government, and a host
of other contributions to social order).
