UPS Named One of World’s Most Ethical Companies for Tenth Consecutive Year
10 Mars 2016 - 1:46AM
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced it has been recognized as a
World’s Most Ethical Company for the tenth consecutive year by the
Ethisphere® Institute, a global leader in defining and advancing
the standards of ethical business practices.
“At UPS, operating as an ethical company means doing what we say
we will do, in business conduct, in our impact on the environment
and in how we touch the lives of people in the communities where we
live and work. Operating with high ethical standards
internationally is part of the culture of UPS and this commitment
is shared throughout our organization,” said Mohammad Azam, UPS
chief compliance officer.
This year marks the tenth 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 2016 honorees, including UPS, later
in the year through a whitepaper and infographics.
“A common theme among the 2016 World’s Most Ethical Companies is
a drive to improve corporate integrity in a way that impacts the
world,” explained Ethisphere’s Chief Executive Officer, Timothy
Erblich. “UPS’s Committed to MoreTM motto is demonstrated not only
through their CSR efforts, but by the recognition of their role in
the global business community and the value this creates for their
investors, customers and employees. Congratulations to everyone at
UPS for being recognized as a 2016 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 CDP for the second straight year, was
a recipient of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA)
SmartWay Excellence Award, was included on the Dow Jones
Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) for the third consecutive
year and was named as one of the “100 Best Corporate Citizens” by
CR Magazine for the sixth consecutive year.
The World's Most Ethical Company assessment is based upon the
Ethisphere Institute’s Ethics Quotient™ (EQ) 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 provided to all companies who participate in
the process.
