Fluor Corporation (NYSE:FLR) announced today that it was named to the
World’s Most Ethical Companies list by the Ethisphere Institute, a
leading international think tank dedicated to the creation, advancement
and sharing of best practices in business ethics, corporate social
responsibility, anti-corruption and sustainability. The list recognizes
companies that go beyond the minimums and introduce new and innovative
ideas that demonstrate leadership in ethical business practices. As part
of the third annual ranking, 99 companies across 35 industry categories
were chosen for the Most Ethical Companies List. This year marks the
third straight time that Fluor has been named to the list.
“The fact that awards such as Ethisphere’s World’s Most Ethical
Companies list exist today versus five or seven years ago speaks volumes
about how important this topic has become to global business,” said
Wendy Hallgren, Fluor Corporation’s vice president of corporate
compliance. “Since Fluor’s inception nearly a century ago, personal
ethics and ethical business behavior have been hallmarks of our
reputation. We are proud of the countless examples our employees set
around the globe on a daily basis.”
“Operating as an ethical leader requires a significant commitment from
companies that goes beyond lip service and demands real action and
change,” said Alex Brigham, Executive Director of the Ethisphere
Institute. “After a rigorous and competitive selection process, the
companies on this year’s list have demonstrated an understanding that
ethical practices are not only necessary, but can support a stronger and
more solid business overall. We commend them for their admirable
contributions to their respective industries and look forward to their
continued leadership in the years to come.”
Researchers and analysts reviewed more than 10,000 companies’ codes of
ethics, litigation and regulatory infraction histories; investment in
innovation and sustainable business practices; activities designed to
improve corporate citizenship; nominations from senior executives,
industry peers, suppliers and customers; and feedback from consumer
action groups. Information was both provided by the companies through
questionnaires and collected during additional independent research.
The 2009 World’s Most Ethical Companies advisory panel included
Ethisphere editors and researchers, as well as attorneys, government
officials, professors and other leaders who play important roles in
ethical and honest business practices.
