Ethisphere: “The Worlds Most Ethical Companies designation recognizes companies that truly go beyond making statements about doing business ethically and translate those words into action. WME honorees demonstrate real and sustained ethical leadership within their industries, putting into real business practice the Institutes credo of Good. Smart. Business. Profit. There is no set number of companies that make the list each year. Rather, the Worlds Most Ethical Company designation is awarded to those companies that have leading ethics and compliance programs, particularly as compared to their industry peers. This year, there are 100 Worlds Most Ethical Companies. Of these companies, 26 are new to the list in 2010 and 24 companies dropped off from the 2009 list. These drop offs generally occurred because of litigation and ethics violations, as well as increased competition from within their industry.”
