NEW YORK; March 30, 2010 –Accenturehas been recognized by the Ethisphere Institute as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies for the third consecutive year. Out of a record number of nominations for the award, Accenture secured a spot on the 2010 list by implementing meticulous business practices and initiatives that are instrumental to the company’s success, benefit the community and raise the bar for ethical standards.
“We are honored that our pledge to build a company on a solid ethical foundation has been recognized with a place on the 2010 World’s Most Ethical Companies list,” said Chad Fentress, associate general counsel for compliance & regulatory matters at Accenture. “We believe high performing companies must have a deep commitment to ethics from the top as well as a sustained dedication to these same high standards from employees at every level.”
This is the fourth year Ethisphere, a think-tank dedicated to sharing best practices in business ethics, has published the rankings, which appear in Ethisphere Magazine’s Q1 issue.
“Accenture’s promotion of a sound ethical environment shines within its industry and shows a clear understanding that operating under the highest standards for business behavior goes beyond goodwill and is linked to performance and profitability,” said Alex Brigham, executive director of the Ethisphere Institute. “This year’s World’s Most Ethical Companies award was more competitive than ever, because companies realize that making ethics a priority is critical amidst a tough economic environment.”
