Ethisphere is a research-based institute dedicated to the creation, advancement and sharing of best practices in business ethics, corporate social responsibility, anti-corruption and sustainability. This year — the seventh year Ethisphere has published the World’s Most Ethical Companies list — a record number of nominations and applications were reviewed from companies in more than 100 countries and 36 industries. For 2013, 140 companies were named to the list.
The World's Most Ethical (WME) Companies designation recognizes companies that go beyond statements about doing business "ethically" and translate their words into action. WME honorees not only promote ethical business standards and practices internally, they exceed legal compliance minimums and shape future industry standards by introducing best practices today.
From ABB to Xerox, Adobe and Aecom to Visa and Whole Foods Market, some of the world’s best known and most respected companies are on the list, which represents more than three dozen different industries.
