Announcing The 2013 World's Most Ethical Companies

Ethisphere is proud to announce the 2013 World's Most Ethical Companies. This year's winners represent the companies that truly go beyond making statements about doing business "ethically" and translate those words into action. This year's WME honorees gathered from around the world on March 5-6 at the Global Ethics Summit in New York City. At a special gala dinner, Ethisphere announced the 2013 World's Most Ethical Companies. The list of recognized companies can be found here.

The workshop, which was geared toward communications executives, featured several recognized leaders in the corporate communications profession and attracted 95 participants from companies such as AECOM, Aflac, American Express, Boeing, Cigna, Edelman, Eli Lilly and Company, Fluor Corporation, Fox News, General Electric, The Hartford, Hill+Knowlton Strategies, PRWeek magazine and TD Bank - along with the Emory University Center for Ethics and the U.S. Navy

Ethics as a key driver of corporate reputation was the main focus of the interactive workshop. Internal communication strategies to create an ethical business culture and engage staff were highlighted during the workshop, as were external communication programs emphasizing ethics as a differentiating brand attribute.
