Methodology & Scoring
The World's Most Ethical Companies assessment is grounded in
Ethisphere's proprietary Ethics Quotient®, which requires companies
to provide 240+ different proof points on practices that support
robust ethics and compliance; governance; a culture of ethics;
environmental and social impact; and initiatives that support a
strong value chain. That data undergoes further qualitative
analysis by our panel of experts who spend thousands of hours
vetting and evaluating each year's group of applicants. This
process serves as an operating framework to capture and codify
best-in-class ethics and compliance practices from
organizations across industries and from around the world.
