135 honorees this year, spanning 22 countries and 47 industries.
Western Digital was one of just six companies recognized in the

“Western Digital is honored to be among 135 companies recognized
for setting global standards of business integrity and corporate
citizenship,” said Tiffany Scurry, Western Digital’s chief

as important as the results we achieve. Our Global Code of Conduct
guides how we develop and deliver products, and how we work with
customers, suppliers, distributors, and other partners. Operating
responsibly and ethically isn’t just the right thing to do; it’s a
key marketplace differentiator.”
In addition to Ethisphere assessing data responsive to more than
200 questions on a company’s culture, environmental, ethics and
diversity initiatives, this year’s process also evaluated how
applicants were adapting and responding to the global health
pandemic, environmental, social and governance factors, as well as
safety, equity, inclusion and social justice.
“While addressing the tough challenges of 2020, we saw the
World’s Most Ethical Companies honorees continue to demonstrate an
unwavering commitment to the highest values and positively impact
the communities they serve,” said Ethisphere CEO, Timothy Erblich.
