The Hartford has been recognized as a 2017 World’s Most Ethical
Company®, achieving this prestigious accolade for the ninth time,
as designated by the Ethisphere Institute, a global leader in
defining and advancing the standards of ethical business
practices.
“We are honored to be recognized for the ninth time as a World’s
Most Ethical Company, exemplifying the highest standards of ethics
and compliance,” said The Hartford’s Chairman and CEO Christopher
Swift. “At The Hartford, we recognize that a company’s reputation
for doing business the right way is essential to its sustained
success.”
The Hartford’s culture of integrity and honesty is upheld by
leadership accountability and ongoing education for employees to
identify and prevent ethical lapses and compliance issues.
This is the 11th year Ethisphere has honored companies that
recognize their role in society to influence and drive positive
change, consider the impact of their actions on their employees,
investors, customers and other key stakeholders and use their
values and culture as an underpinning to the decisions they make
every day. The World’s Most Ethical Company assessment is based
upon a framework that scores a company in five key categories:
ethics and compliance program (35%), corporate citizenship and
responsibility (20%), culture of ethics (20%), governance (15%) and
leadership, innovation and reputation (10%).
“The Hartford demonstrates a culture of the highest ethical
standard, offering customers, employees and investors an
exceptional brand that stands for honesty and integrity,”
Ethisphere’s Chief Executive Officer, Timothy Erblich.
“Congratulations to everyone at The Hartford for being recognized
as a World's Most Ethical Company."
