2023 WME 5X
WE DO WHAT'S RIGHT

WORLD'S MOST ETHICAL COMPANIES

We can take tremendous pride in the fact that this award does not single out any one person or group. Instead, it recognizes each of us, 3,500 individuals who are committed to doing what’s right for our customers, our company, and for one other.

The Ethisphere Institute is the recognized global leader in defining and advancing ethical business standards and practices.

They evaluated our business practices in six areas:
• Culture
• Environmental and social practices
• Ethics and compliance activities
• Governance
• Diversity
• Initiatives to support a strong value chain

The Ethisphere Institute highlighted our collective efforts supporting “integrity, sustainability, governance, and community" and marks the fifth time we have earned this distinction, having also been named a World’s Most Ethical Company in 2014, 2015, 2018 and 2022.


“This recognition underscores our employees’ continuous commitment to operate with integrity and do what’s right for our customers."

- Raanan Horowitz, President & CEO
