“Ethisphere is an influential beacon for both good companies, aspirants and laggards alike. Ethisphere uniquely recognizes that even companies with less than perfect historical corporate citizenship operating records need to have their successes celebrated along the way if they decide to conscientiously improve their ethics, compliance and community practices. Anything else would simply build those companies’ resistance to productive engagement with third parties. It’s this sort of pragmatic approach that actually delivers Ethisphere’s power to influence, and help make and retain these companies as productive members of the corporate citizenship community.”
– Michael Hershman, Co-Founder Transparency International, and CEO of Fairfax Group

- Charles Elson. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance, University of Delaware
