Thomson Reuters again rated among world's most ethical companies

The designation, awarded by the New York-based Ethisphere Institute, recognises companies that go beyond making statements about doing business ethically and translate those words into action.

The designation is awarded to companies that have leading ethics and compliance programmes, particularly  compared with their industry peers. Companies were judged on their ethics and compliance programmes, governance and corporate responsibility. They were measured against seven categories: corporate citizenship and responsibility; corporate governance; innovation that contributes to the public well being; industry leadership; executive leadership and tone from the top; legal, regulatory and reputation track record; and internal systems and ethics/compliance programme.

Thomson Reuters is listed in the media, publishing and entertainment section alongside Time Warner. ■
