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.
