Public Transit Firms Honored Among ‘World’s Most Ethical’

Five public transportation-related companies—ABB, AECOM, CH2M HILL, Cummins Inc., and Parsons Corporation—are among the 145 “2013 World’s Most Ethical Companies” (WME) recently announced by the Ethisphere Institute.  The annual list, now in its seventh year, highlights companies from around the world that outperform industry peers when it comes to ethical behavior.

“Not only did more companies apply for the World’s Most Ethical Companies recognition this year than any year in the past—which demonstrates that ethical activity is an important part of many of these companies’ business models—but we are also seeing more companies be proactive and create new initiatives that expand ethics programs and cultures across entire industries, such as industry-based ethics associations and other activities,” said Alex Brigham, executive director of Ethisphere. “We are excited to see the 2013 World’s Most Ethical Companies take these leadership positions, and embrace the correlation between ethical behavior and improved financial performance.”

Ethisphere reviewed nominations from companies in more than 100 countries and 36 industries. The methodology for the World’s Most Ethical Companies includes reviewing codes of ethics, litigation, and regulatory infraction histories; evaluating the investment in innovation and sustainable business practices; looking at activities designed to improve corporate citizenship; and studying nominations from senior executives, industry peers, suppliers, and customers.

The complete list is available here.
