Noblis has been named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by the Ethisphere Institute. This award honors companies that demonstrate “real and sustained ethical leadership in their industries.” Noblis was one of five companies worldwide to be listed in the Business Services category.
Ethisphere Institute, a think-tank dedicated to the creation, advancement, and sharing of best practices in business ethics, corporate social responsibility, anti-corruption, and sustainability, reviewed nominations from companies in more than 100 countries and 36 industries before naming 100 companies to their 2010 list.
“We are honored to be selected for this award because it reflects our core value of doing what’s right and what works,” said Amr ElSawy, President and CEO of Noblis. “At Noblis, our mission is to serve the public interest through innovation in science, technology, and strategy. By preserving our independence and objectivity, we are free to focus on what matters most—finding solutions that work best for our clients. We are proud that Noblis’ values and practices merit recognition as an ethical leader.”
In a media release issued by Ethisphere, Alex Brigham, Executive Director of the Ethisphere Institute said, “The competition for the World’s Most Ethical Companies was the strongest it has ever been, with a record number of organizations vying for this distinguished honor. This year’s group recognizes the important role ethics play in brand reputation, which ultimately is the most valuable asset for a corporation. There is a strong correlation between a company’s ethics program and its performance, with ethical companies outperforming the market both in terms of upside performance as well as in avoidance of catastrophic investor loss. This proves that having a commitment to ethics is a competitive advantage and is imperative to business.”
According to Ethisphere, the methodology for choosing the World’s Most Ethical Companies includes reviewing codes of ethics, litigation, and regulatory infraction histories; evaluating the investment in innovation and sustainable business practices; looking at activities designed to improve corporate citizenship; and studying nominations from senior executives, industry peers, suppliers and customers.
