MEXICO CITY, March 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grupo Bimbo, the largest baking Company in the world, has been recognized by Ethisphere as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies 2026, marking ten consecutive years of receiving this honor.
This acknowledgment highlights organizations that demonstrate outstanding leadership in integrity, ethics, compliance, and governance practices.
According to Ethisphere, the evaluation is carried out through its proprietary Ethics Quotient® methodology, which considers elements related to ethics and compliance programs, organizational culture, and governance practices of participating companies.
At Grupo Bimbo, ethics is not just a principle; it is a core part of how the company operates. This value is lived every day through a strong organizational culture grounded in its philosophy and its Golden Rule: treating everyone with respect, fairness, trust, and care. This approach, championed since the company’s beginnings by its founders, guides its relationships with associates, customers, suppliers, investors, and the communities where it operates.
This way of understanding ethics is closely tied to Grupo Bimbo’s purpose of Nourishing a Better World. For the company, integrity also takes shape in how decisions are made every day, with a deeply human, long-term vision focused on generating well-being, transparency, and trust for families and all its stakeholders.
“Receiving this recognition for the tenth year in a row reaffirms our commitment to continue strengthening a culture based on ethics, integrity, and transparency. At Grupo Bimbo, we understand that acting with integrity goes beyond compliance: it means doing and saying what is right at all times, in alignment with our values, our culture, and the public commitments we have made globally,” said Ignacio Stepancic, Global Compliance Leader at Grupo Bimbo.
Ethisphere’s distinction recognizes companies that place ethics at the center of their decisions and operations, helping build trust-based relationships with their stakeholders. Grupo Bimbo has been honored for ten consecutive years, a reflection of its long-term vision and its understanding of integrity as an essential element for generating sustainable value.
