Morphology
The meaning 'a statement expressing desirability or worth' is directly compositional from 'value' (worth or principles) plus 'statement' (a declaration), so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer it denotes a declaration about values or worth. This noun+noun combination follows a common and predictable English pattern (and equivalents exist in many languages), making the phrase transparent.
Etymology
Value statement comes from the simple idea of writing a short sentence about what matters: value means what is important and statement is a clear sentence that says it. Organisations and people write a value statement to show their beliefs and to guide behaviour, so the phrase now means 'a sentence that says what is important'.
