Voltaire in Business Ethics and Society

I was helping a friend in their business ethics class; when talking about the ethics of derivatives and transparency (a management aim to understand risk) I ran across this quote:

"Candide is naive, but his transparency is seen by Voltaire as virtuous." - Justin Welby

I thought that this was an interesting quote to come across in a business book, but I also found it extremely true. What do you guys think about this quote? Transparency is a virtue.
