Thomson Reuters again rated one of world's most ethical companies

The award is made by the Ethisphere Institute, a New York-based think tank dedicated to the creation, advancement and sharing of best practices in business ethics, corporate social responsibility, anti-corruption and sustainability.

“Thomson Reuters is dedicated to a comprehensive global Corporate Responsibility programme, at the heart of which is a strong ethical backbone”, said Deirdre Stanley, general counsel for Thomson Reuters. “At the heart of our business are the Trust Principles: committing all employees to uphold standards of integrity, independence and freedom from bias. These works alongside our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, providing principles and practical guidance for all staff.”

"As companies strive to maintain a competitive advantage, good ethics translate into better business, and better business means better bottom lines. Thomson Reuters recognizes the important role that principled practices play in brand reputation, which ultimately is the most valuable asset for a corporation," said Alex Brigham, executive director of the Ethisphere Institute. ■
