Ethisphere Recognizes AECOM with Compliance Leader Verification™
Ethisphere ‘s Compliance Leader Verification (CLV) recognizes organizations with an outstanding commitment to achieving a best-in-class ethics and compliance program
“AECOM has strong ethics and compliance leadership that is empowered by a C-suite and Board who understand that strong ethics is good business. Our review team was impressed by key hallmarks of the program including 100% training completion rates, a solid E&C risk assessment process, and a commitment to continual improvement,” said Jodie Fredericksen, J.D., Senior Compliance Counsel of Ethisphere.
“We are honored to receive Compliance Leader Verification recognition from Ethisphere—another independent acknowledgment affirming that we have an effective Ethics & Compliance program that exemplifies world-class compliance standards,” said AECOM’s Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer Antonio D’Amico. “This distinction reflects the commitment of our employees and the strength of our Ethics & Compliance team working together to realize our purpose of delivering a better world.”
The Compliance Leader Verification process involves a rigorous review of an ethics and compliance program and corporate culture. It includes completing the Ethics Quotient® (EQ), a questionnaire covering the elements of an effective program; benchmarking program practices against the World’s Most Ethical Companies®; and extensive document review and interviews with executives and stakeholders. |
AECOM’s performance was evaluated on six key areas: program resources and structure; perceptions of ethical culture; written standards; training and communication; risk assessment, monitoring and auditing; and enforcement, discipline, and incentives.
