The World's Most Ethical Companies^® assessment is grounded in Ethisphere's proprietary Ethics Quotient^®, which requires companies to provide 240+ different proof points on practices that support robust ethics and compliance; governance; a culture of ethics; environmental and social impact; and initiatives that support a strong value chain. That data undergoes further qualitative analysis by a 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. The listed 2025 World's Most Ethical Companies^® Honorees outperformed a comparable index of global companies by 7.8 percentage points from January 2020 to January 2025.
