Guide to Applying for the 2027 World’s Most Ethical Companies®

New to the application, new to your company’s process, or looking for a refresh? Start here.

Whether you’re submitting for the first time or stepping into a process someone else owned before you, this session covers what you need to get through it: how to log in, how to navigate the Ethics Quotient® questionnaire, and how to complete your application from start to finish.

We’ll also walk through what’s new for 2027, including updates to the EQ and a new resource available to all applicants this year. Ethisphere has partnered with Diligent to give every 2027 applicant access to a dedicated SurveySync workspace, pre-loaded with the full Ethics Quotient® and built to help make applying easier. SurveySync uses AI to draft responses from your own compliance documentation — policies, prior submissions, ESG reports — and your team reviews and approves every answer before anything is submitted. Nothing is auto-submitted, and your data stays yours.

The application portal opens July 29. The deadline is October 29 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
