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.
AtkinsRéalis 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.
“I am proud of the world-class culture of integrity we have built at AtkinsRéalis. This renewed Compliance Leader Verification from Ethisphere reflects our ongoing commitment to putting integrity at the forefront of everything we do and the trust we continue to build with our employees, clients, partners, and communities.”
