The Ethics Inside® Certified seal is the only independent verification of a company’s ethics and compliance program and practices. The certification is exclusively awarded to companies that can demonstrably prove a superior employee and leadership culture that promote ethical business practices. Furthermore, such companies must have adequate compliance systems and programs to reasonably prevent compliance failures.
What’s examined in an Ethics Inside® Certification analysis?
Ethisphere Institue analysts look at more than 50 separate criteria. No company is expected to necessarily excel at all of them – but the aggregate weighting must exceed a level at which ethical behavior becomes the core expectation, compliance controls respected, and productive innovation and communication propagated.
All applicants are provided with detailed reports as to how their programs measure up- including suggestions and guidelines for improvement. Companies that pass the certification criteria are provided with the award and license to use the “Ethics Inside® Certified” logo in corporate communications and promotion.
