“We are proud of this recognition by Ethisphere, which once again highlights our commitment to ethics and integrity,” said Blake Moret, Chairman and CEO of Rockwell Automation. “We place a high value on integrity in every business decision we make, and that fosters an environment where all employees can and want to do their best work. Our culture of integrity is the foundation of our success and helps us deliver long-term value to our customers, shareowners, and employees.”
“Congratulations to Rockwell Automation for earning this recognition,” said Ethisphere’s Chief Executive Officer, Timothy Erblich. “This honour acknowledges the purpose-driven leaders and employees at Rockwell Automation, who are working to advance corporate cultures defined by integrity and affirm those companies contributing to broader societal imperatives and the greater good.”
Methodology & Scoring
Grounded in Ethisphere’s proprietary Ethics Quotient®, the World’s Most Ethical Companies assessment process includes more than 200 questions on culture, environmental and social practices, ethics and compliance activities, governance, diversity and initiatives to support a strong value chain. The process serves as an operating framework to capture and codify the leading practices of organisations across industries and around the globe. Best practices and insights from the 2020 honourees will be released in a report and webcast in March and April of this year.
All companies that participate in the assessment process receive an Analytical Scorecard providing them a holistic assessment of where their programs stand against the demanding standards of leading companies.
