“We are honored to be recognized by Ethisphere for the seventh time for how we live and lead by the Golden Rule and prioritize integrity and ethics in all that we do,” said Steven B. Hedlund, Lincoln Electric’s Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer. “This award, and other recent recognitions by Newsweek for being ranked among ‘America’s Most Responsible Companies’ and by Forbes as a ‘Best Mid Sized Employer’, reinforces our culture and commitment of operating to a higher standard.”
“Congratulations to Lincoln Electric for achieving recognition as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies®. Behind this honor is a true dedication and a commitment to advancing business integrity. This approach is good for business – employees and other stakeholders value companies that prioritize the kinds of practices we measure with our process,” said Erica Salmon Byrne, Ethisphere’s Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Chair.
The World's Most Ethical Companies assessment is grounded in Ethisphere's proprietary Ethics Quotient®, which requires companies to provide 240+ different proof points on practices that support robust ethics and compliance; governance; a culture of ethics; environmental and social impact; and initiatives that support a strong value chain. That data undergoes further qualitative analysis by our panel of experts who spend thousands of hours vetting and evaluating each year's group of applicants. This process serves as an operating framework to capture and codify best-in-class ethics and compliance practices from organizations across industries and from around the world.
