Rating Scale

Excellent (90-100)
The Ethisphere “Hall of Fame” that few companies achieve, represents outstanding programs overall with clear commitment to attempting to drive an ethical and disclosure culture well beyond disclosure requirements.;

Above Standard (80-89)
Strong programs that exceed all government standards. Institutional commitment to ethics apparent with most measurement criteria met yet selective short fall may still be present, but easily improved.;

Meeting Standard (60-79)
Companies which meet the “letter of the law” but fail to exceed by meeting the “spirit of the law.”
These are companies that could achieve better scores
by putting in action their written commitments.;

Below Standard (40-59)
Programs which fail to prove that they have met the minimum FAR ethics program standards.;

Unsatisfactory (40)
Programs that fail to demonstrate sufficient material commitment to institute a culture or program of ethics consistent with FAR per disclosed information.;
