Thomson Reuters named one of Ethisphere's 2012 "World's Most Ethical Companies"
for fourth successive year
Award recognises exceptional ethical leadership across continents and industries
LONDON, March 16, 2012 -Thomson Reuters, the world's leading provider of
intelligent information for businesses and professionals, announced today that
it has been recognised by the Ethisphere Institute, the leading business ethics
think-tank, as one of the 2012 World's Most Ethical Companies (WME).
This is the fourth year in a row that the company has been honored for promoting
the highest of ethical standards. Out of a record number of nominations for the
award, Thomson Reuters secured a hard-earned spot on the list by implementing
and maintaining upright business practices and initiatives that are instrumental
to the company's success, benefit the community and raise the bar for ethical
standards within the industry.
"Our Trust Principals are an integral part of the way we do business," said
Deirdre Stanley, Executive Vice President and General Counsel at Thomson
Reuters. "Being named one of Ethisphere's 2012 World's Most Ethical Companies
for the fourth consecutive year shows that we consistently strive to make a
positive impact on society and we are honored to be included."
This is the sixth year Ethisphere has published the WME rankings. Ethisphere
reviewed hundreds of companies and evaluated a record number of applications
utilising its propriety methodology through in-depth research and multi-step
analysis, naming the companies that surpassed their industry peers to this
year's World's Most Ethical Companies list. The 2012 list features companies in
more than three dozen industries, including 40 companies headquartered outside
the United States.
"A strong ethical foundation is a competitive advantage, and Thomson Reuters
recognises the important role corporate responsibility plays in improving its
bottom line," said Alex Brigham, executive director of the Ethisphere Institute.
"As more and more organisations strive for this honour each year, the inclusion
of Thomson Reuters as a World's Most Ethical Company for 2012 demonstrates its
industry-leading commitment to ethics and dedication to integrity."
The methodology for the WME ranking includes reviewing codes of ethics,
litigation and regulatory infraction histories; evaluating the investment in
innovation and sustainable business practices; looking at activities designed to
improve corporate citizenship; and studying nominations from senior executives,
industry peers, suppliers and customers.
