Mumbai: Tata Steel
and Wipro have been named among the world's most ethical companies
by the American think tank, Ethisphere Institute, company
officials said.
These are the only two Indian companies to have featured in the
2012 list of World's Most Ethical Companies prepared by US-based
Ethisphere Institute.
"It is a great honour for Tata Steel to be recognised under such
an important and prestigious parameter. Ethical business
principles and practices have been the key differentiators of Tata
Group and Tata Steel since inception," said H. M. Nerurkar,
managing director, Tata Steel.
Ethisphere's annual list of the World's Most Ethical Companies (WME)
recognises companies that truly go beyond making statements and
conduct business ethically by translating words into action.
The Ethisphere Institute's annual WME Companies list revealed that
145 companies in countries like the US, Great Britain, Japan,
Portugal and India stood out for setting high standards of
employee behaviour and conduct.
Ethisphere evaluated about 5,000 global companies, including those
in Standard & Poor's 500 index, on reputation, corporate
citizenship, culture and other qualities.
