Fluor named as one of the world's most ethical companies by Ethisphere Institute

Fluor Corporation announced today that for the sixth straight year the company has been recognized as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by the Ethisphere Institute. The most ethical companies list is announced annually by the Ethisphere Institute, a leading international think-tank dedicated to the creation, advancement and sharing of best practices in business ethics, corporate social responsibility, anti-corruption and sustainability.

“Fluor is honored to again be recognized as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by the Ethisphere Institute,” said David Seaton, Fluor’s chairman and CEO. “This year, as we celebrate Fluor’s centennial anniversary, we reflect on how our commitment to conducting business ethically in an open and transparent manner has been the foundation to our success for the past 100 years.”

The methodology for 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; examining activities designed to improve corporate citizenship; and studying nominations from senior executives, industry peers, suppliers and customers.

“Each year the competition for World’s Most Ethical Companies intensifies as the number of nominations submitted for consideration grows,” said Alex Brigham, executive director of Ethisphere. “This year’s winners know that a strong ethics program is a key component to a successful business model, and they continue to scrutinize their ethical standards to keep up with an ever-changing regulatory environment.”

To announce this year’s recipients, Ethisphere analyzed nominations from companies in more than 100 countries across 36 industries.
