UPS Recognized As One Of World’s Most Ethical Companies For Eleventh Consecutive Year
14 March 2017 - 12:30AM
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced that it has been recognized by the
Ethisphere® Institute as a World’s Most Ethical Company for the
eleventh consecutive year. The Ethisphere Institute, a global
leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business
practices, honored UPS in the Logistics & Transportation
category.
“At UPS, operating in an ethical manner means standing by our
principles and delivering on our word through our business
operations, sustainability standards, and, how we impact the lives
and communities where we live and work,” said Mohammed Azam, UPS
chief compliance officer. “We work hard to have high ethical
standards in all our efforts across the globe. It’s part of our
culture and shared throughout our organization.”
This year marks the eleventh anniversary of the Ethisphere
Institute and the World’s Most Ethical Companies designation, which
recognizes those companies that align principle with action, work
tirelessly to make trust part of their corporate DNA, and, in doing
so, shape future industry standards by introducing tomorrow’s best
practices today. The Ethisphere Institute will release best
practices and insights from the 2017 honorees, including UPS, later
in the year through a whitepaper and infographics.
“Over the last eleven years we have seen the shift in societal
expectations, constant redefinition of laws and regulations, and,
the geo-political climate. We have also seen how companies honored
as the World’s Most Ethical respond to these challenges. They
invest in their local communities around the world, embrace
strategies of diversity and inclusion, and, focus on long term-ism
as a sustainable business advantage,” explained Ethisphere’s Chief
Executive Officer, Timothy Erblich. "Congratulations to everyone at
UPS for being recognized as a World's Most Ethical Company."
UPS has been honored recently with several other corporate
citizenship and sustainability distinctions. The company received a
perfect score of 100 from the Corporate Equality Index by the Human
Rights Campaign, was a recipient of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency’s (EPA) SmartWay Excellence Award, and, was named
to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) for the
fourth consecutive year.
The World's Most Ethical Company assessment is based upon the
Ethisphere Institute’s Ethics Quotient™ framework. Scores are
generated in five key categories: ethics and compliance program
(35%), corporate citizenship and responsibility (20%), culture of
ethics (20%), governance (15%) and leadership, innovation and
reputation (10%), and, are provided to all companies who
participate in the process.
