March 13 2017 - 7:30AM
Applied Materials, Inc. announced today that it has been recognized
as a 2017 World’s Most Ethical Company© by the Ethisphere
Institute, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards
of ethical business practices.
“Applied Materials takes pride in building a strong culture of
ethics and empowering our employees to make good business decisions
every day,” said Steve Adams, vice president, Litigation,
Protection and Compliance at Applied Materials. “I want to thank
all of our employees around the world for upholding our reputation
as a trusted business and community partner.”
This is the sixth consecutive year Applied Materials has been
recognized as a World’s Most Ethical Company. In addition, Applied
is one of only six companies on the list in the Electronics &
Semiconductors category, underscoring its commitment to leading
ethical business standards and practices.
"Congratulations to Applied Materials on this well-deserved
recognition," said Ethisphere’s chief executive officer, Timothy
Erblich. “Applied’s commitment to doing business responsibly,
consistently investing in local communities around the world and
embracing strategies of diversity and inclusion exemplifies what it
means to be a responsible corporate citizen.”
This is the eleventh year that Ethisphere has honored those
companies who recognize their role in society to influence and
drive positive change, consider the impact of their actions on
their employees, investors, customers and other key stakeholders
and use their values and culture as an underpinning to the
decisions they make every day.
The World's Most Ethical Company assessment is based upon the
Ethisphere Institute’s Ethics Quotient® (EQ) framework which offers
a quantitative way to assess a company’s performance in an
objective, consistent and standardized way. The information
collected provides a comprehensive sampling of definitive criteria
of core competencies, rather than all aspects of corporate
governance, risk, sustainability, compliance and ethics. Scores are
generated in five key categories: ethics and compliance program
(35%), corporate citizenship and responsibility (20%), culture of
ethics (20%), governance (15%) and leadership, innovation and
reputation (10%).
