Using Data and Benchmarking to Improve Compliance Programs

AECOM, a global leader in infrastructure consulting, enhanced its ethics and compliance program by achieving Ethisphere’s Compliance Leader Verification. They wanted to move beyond internal assessments to ensure their practices were transparent and aligned with industry leaders. Facing increasing client concerns around ESG, AECOM turned to Ethisphere for third-party validation. Throughout the rigorous process, AECOM was able to benchmark their program, gain insights into global best practices, and foster a culture of integrity. Their efforts included enhancing third-party due diligence, continuous monitoring for high-risk transactions, and achieving 100% training completion rates.

The verification provided AECOM with valuable data, insights from their own employees, and a clear path for continuous improvement. The recognition not only solidified their ethics program but also gave AECOM a competitive advantage in ESG conversations with clients.
