New York, NY – September 24, 2014 – Ethisphere, the global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices, announced its annual 100 Most Influential People in Business Ethics ranking. In an era of multi-billion dollar fines and an ever-increasing regulatory environment, public attention tends to focus on companies that failed in the areas of ethics and compliance. This award recognizes individuals that have made a material impact in the world of business ethics and compliance.
“In today’s complex and connected world, individuals are often met with the choice of maintaining the status-quo or making bold changes to re-imagine how we perceive ethics. At Ethisphere, we believe there is a critical link between ethics and the overall performance and impact of one’s organization,” said Ethisphere’s Publisher, Stefan Linssen. “The 2013 ranking of the 100 Most Influential People in Business Ethics recognized individuals who are shaping the new world of ethics and are expanding best practices around the globe.”
