3M Again Recognized by Ethisphere Institute as One of the ‘World’s Most Ethical Companies’

For the sixth consecutive year, St. Paul, Minnesota-based 3M has been recognized as one of 2019’s “World’s Most Ethical Companies,” according to the Scottsdale, Arizona-based Ethisphere Institute.

According to the company, it is one of only a handful of industrial companies worldwide to be recognized this year.

“At 3M, unwavering integrity is core to our values,” says Veena Lakkundi, 3M’s vice president and chief ethics and compliance officer. “We know that doing the right thing, everywhere, every day is key to having a sustainable global business. We honor the trust that is placed in us by our customers, employees, communities, and shareholders. It is what makes 3M a great place to work. This award is a collective effort by our 93,000 employees around the world.”

3M’s Code of Conduct is part of the company’s values, it says, and it views that code as a competitive advantage.

Ethisphere evaluates companies in five categories: ethics and compliance program; citizenship and corporate responsibility; culture of ethics, governance, and leadership; innovation; and reputation. 3M is one of only 128 companies around the world that were designated as a World’s Most Ethical Company.
