To determine the World’s Most Ethical Companies, the Ethisphere Institute uses the Ethics Quotient® framework to assess an organization’s performance in an objective, consistent and standardized way. Companies are scored in five key categories: ethics and compliance program, corporate citizenship and responsibility, culture of ethics, governance, leadership, innovation and reputation.
