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 organizations across
industries and around the globe.
This year, the process was streamlined and question set was
expanded to gauge how applicants are adapting and responding to the
global health pandemic, environmental, social, and governance
factors, safety, equity, and inclusion and social justice.
