Quick question for a CEO - what is your company's identity?

As a CEO, here is a quick question for you.
What is your firm's identity?
Is it about the core capabilities. Is it about what you actually achieve - like West Jet that serves its employees first and then its customers. Looking after the social capital in the company will yield results.
It is about your passion.
One of my client firms is an engineering business with awkward geeks selling high level skills.
What was interesting is that they know they are sophisticated engineers passionate about using other people's technologies in new ways to create dazzling machine parts.
Even though their website did not give their capabilities a fair shake, their advisory board could all articulate within seconds the company's purpose.
Passion wins through but passion must be articulated and described.
Funny how once that is done, the strategy unfolds within each division.
