MINNEAPOLIS, March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Thrivent announced it has been named one of the World's Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices. Thrivent has earned this recognition for the 15^th consecutive year, reflecting its sustained commitment to ethical leadership and integrity. Thrivent is one of only six financial services organizations included in this year's list, highlighting its best-in-class ethics and compliance practices.

"Earning this recognition for 15 consecutive years reflects the strength and depth of our ethical culture," said Terry Rasmussen, president and CEO, Thrivent. "Integrity and transparency guide our decisions and earn the trust of our teammates, financial advisors and clients – allowing us to create lasting impact in the communities we serve."

Methodology & Scoring
The World's Most Ethical Companies assessment is grounded in Ethisphere's proprietary Ethics Quotient®, which requires companies to provide 240+ documented proof points on practices that support robust ethics and compliance, including: corporate governance; program structure & resourcing; written standards; training, awareness, & communication; risk assessment & auditing; investigations, enforcement, discipline & incentives; measurement of ethical culture; third-party risk management, and environmental & social impact.

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 best-in-class ethics and compliance practices from organizations across industries and from around the world.
