business integrity through best-in-class ethics, compliance, and
governance practices
Paychex, Inc., a leading provider of integrated human capital
management software solutions for human resources, employee
benefits, insurance services, and payroll, has been named among one
of the 2024 World’s Most Ethical Companies® on Ethisphere’s annual
list. This marks the 16th time Paychex has been recognized since
the program began in 2007.
Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the
standards of ethical business practices, recognizes a select group
of companies each year that show exceptional commitment to ethical
operations, compliance performance, and governance practices.
“It’s always inspiring to recognize the World’s Most Ethical
Companies. Through the rigorous review process, we see the
dedication of these organizations to continually improving their
ethics, compliance, and governance practices to the benefit of all
stakeholders,” said Erica Salmon Byrne, Ethisphere’s Chief Strategy
Officer and Executive Chair. “Companies that elevate best-in-class
cultures of ethics and integrity set a standard for corporate
citizenship for their peers and competitors to follow.
Congratulations to Paychex for achieving this honor and
demonstrating that strong ethics is good business.”
“Helping small and medium-sized businesses succeed has been our
purpose since Paychex was founded in 1971. In order to achieve this
purpose, we will continue to have an unwavering commitment to
operating our business with the highest ethical standards. This
commitment has been essential in earning the trust of over 740,000
businesses, whom we are honored to call our customers,” said John
Gibson, president and CEO of Paychex. “Paychex is a purpose and
values-driven organization. Our 16,000 employees are committed to
helping businesses succeed and do so with the highest levels of
integrity. To be once again recognized as one of the most ethical
companies in the world is a testament to the strength of our
employees and our culture to do good for our customers, employees,
and the communities where we live and work.”
“Our unwavering ethical business behavior is what drives our
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives,” said
Stephanie Schaeffer, vice president, chief legal and ethics
officer, and secretary at Paychex. “It is an honor to be recognized
by Ethisphere for how we apply our integrity across everything that
touches the Paychex business—from how we act as responsible
stewards to how our workplace values and respects our employees,
and how we contribute to the quality of life for our local
communities.”
In the 2023 Environmental, Social, and Governance Report,
Paychex released the impact the company has made to date and
announced initiatives related to the primary pillars of the
company’s ESG program:
- Paychex is committed to supporting strong and vibrant
communities. In FY23, the Paychex Charitable Foundation made its
first gifts in support of its strategic giving framework focused on
well-being. The initiative directs $1 million in funding each year
for the next four years to Mental Health America, Feeding America®,
Junior Achievement USA®, and the National Urban League for a total
investment of $4 million to support mental health, physical health,
financial health, and professional skills development.
- Paychex launched the DEI Advisory Board, chaired by Gibson, to
align efforts through strategic task forces to move DEI actions
throughout the company. Prioritization remains on amplifying
diverse voices through recruitment, Employee Business Resource
Groups (EBRG), mentorship programs, training, and pay equity. Last
fiscal year, in (FY23), 61% of Paychex employees were female and
53.5% of leadership roles within Paychex were held by women.
- To align with the shifting guidance on reducing energy
consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, Paychex committed
to updating its environmental policy at least once a year,
performing enterprise-wide risk assessments, evaluating the energy
efficiency of data centers, and has announced its ambition to
achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. In FY23, Paychex
strategically reduced printing 43 million sheets of paper and

Methodology & Scoring
The World's Most Ethical Companies assessment is grounded in
Ethisphere's proprietary Ethics Quotient®, an extensive
questionnaire that requires companies to provide over 240 different
proof points on their culture of ethics; environmental, social, and
governance (ESG) practices; ethics and compliance program;
diversity, equity, & inclusion; 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
truly best-in-class ethics and compliance practices from
organizations across industries and from around the world.
