About Ethisphere
I’ve learned a lot from Ethisphere – and we all do – as we raise our game and plot out what the future is about.
— Ray Day, The Stagwell Group
In 2006, Ethisphere was founded on a simple premise—that those businesses that focus on the long term, commit to doing business with integrity, and invest in their communities will outperform their peers that do not.
While the world has changed since then, this commitment to supporting those companies that are focused on building a sustainable business—one that will continue to grow responsibly for many years—is what continues to define us as an organization.
