Ethisphere compares the five-year financial performance of the publicly listed World’s Most Ethical Companies honorees against a comparable index of large cap companies. This comparison reveals a connect between good ethical practices and financial performance, and is called the Ethics Premium.
World’s Most Ethical Companies honorees continuously outperform peers and competitors, demonstrating a link between ethical behavior and financial performance. This outperformance is the result of the kinds of practices that lead a company to be recognized—investments in their people, culture and communities.
This year, the Ethics Premium is 12.3% from January 2019 to January 2024, demonstrating a tangible ROI for doing the right thing.
