The Ethics Inside Certification involves a comprehensive review and evaluation of existing corporate governance systems and practices; ethics and compliance program and practices; corporate citizenship and responsibility initiatives; and leadership, reputation, and legal history. As part of the process, the company pursuing certification is benchmarked against best practices, established standards and Ethisphere's data set highlighting the programs and practices of the World's Most Ethical Companies, including industry peer companies. Ethisphere analysts also review supporting documentation and conduct interviews with key leaders across the organization.
At the conclusion of the review, the team determines if the aggregate maturity of the company's practices meets or exceeds a level at which ethical behavior becomes the core expectation, fundamental compliance systems are in place, tone from the top is clear and the company's actions bear unmistakable signs of good corporate citizenship.
