The Hartford has been recognized by The Ethisphere Institute as
one of the 2012 World’s Most Ethical Companies. This award reflects
The Hartford’s commitment to ethical practices, environmental
stewardship and community involvement.
“The Hartford is proud to be recognized as one of the World’s
Most Ethical Companies for the fifth consecutive year by
Ethisphere,” said Liam E. McGee, chairman, president and CEO of The
Hartford. “Striving to do the right thing every day and in every
situation is fundamental to our culture. To sustain relationships
of trust with a range of stakeholders, Hartford teammates are
committed to the highest levels of ethical behavior.”
Ethisphere, which received a record number of nominations and
applications for the 2012 program, reviewed nominations from
companies in more than 100 countries and 36 industries. One hundred
forty-five companies were chosen for the recognition in 2012.
“Each year the competition for World’s Most Ethical Companies
intensifies as the number of nominations submitted for
consideration grows,” said Alex Brigham, executive director of
Ethisphere. “This year’s winners know that a strong ethics program
is a key component to a successful business model, and they
continue to scrutinize their ethical standards to keep up with an
ever-changing regulatory environment.”
The Hartford’s commitment to conducting business with high
ethical standards empowers employees to do the right thing. Part of
its culture of ethics includes a dedication to environmental
stewardship and creating opportunities that allow employees to have
a positive impact on the communities in which they live and work
through volunteer opportunities.
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.
