Methodology & Scoring
The World's Most Ethical Companies assessment is based upon the
Ethisphere Institute’s Ethics Quotient® (EQ) framework, which offers a
quantitative way to assess a company’s performance in an objective,
consistent and standardized manner. The information collected provides a
comprehensive sampling of definitive criteria of core competencies
rather than all aspects of corporate governance, risk, sustainability,
compliance and ethics.
Scores are generated in five key categories: ethics and compliance
program (35 percent), culture of ethics (20 percent), corporate
citizenship and responsibility (20 percent), governance (15 percent) and
leadership and reputation (10 percent). All companies that participate
in the assessment process receive their scores, providing them with
valuable insights into how they stack up against leading organizations.
