Northern Trust honored for fourth consecutive
year
Northern Trust announced today that it has been recognized by
the Ethisphere Institute as a 2017 World’s Most Ethical Company®
for the fourth consecutive year.
“For more than 125 years, Northern Trust has kept service,
expertise and integrity at the core of our business,” Northern
Trust Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Frederick H. Waddell
said. “Maintaining strong ethics within our company begins with our
board and senior leadership and is put into action every day by our
more than 17,000 employees across the globe. This honor highlights
our enduring commitment to our clients and our communities.”
The Ethisphere Institute seeks to define and elevate the
standards of ethical business practices.
“Over the last eleven years, we have seen the shift in societal
expectations, constant redefinition of law and regulations and the
geo-political climate. We have also seen how companies honored as
the World’s Most Ethical respond to these challenges. They invest
in their local communities around the world, embrace strategies of
diversity and inclusion, and focus on long term-ism as a
sustainable business advantage,” said Ethisphere’s Chief Executive
Officer, Timothy Erblich. “Congratulations to everyone at Northern
Trust for being recognized as a World’s Most Ethical Company.”
The Ethisphere designation recognizes organizations that
demonstrate ethical corporate behavior and leadership based on an
evaluation of multiple factors quantitatively calculated by the
Ethisphere Institute’s Ethics Quotient (EQ). Scores for the EQ are
generated in five key categories: ethics and compliance program,
corporate citizenship and responsibility, culture of ethics,
governance and leadership, innovation and reputation.
“Northern Trust is honored to be included on the World’s Most
Ethical Companies list for the fourth consecutive year,” said
Connie Lindsey, Northern Trust head of Corporate Social
Responsibility and Global Diversity & Inclusion. “This
recognition is indicative of our ongoing commitment to ethical
business practices.”
