into a company's corporate governance, risk, sustainability, and
compliance and ethics practices.
Scores are generated in five key categories:
- Ethics and compliance program (35 percent)
- Culture of ethics (20 percent)
- Corporate citizenship and responsibility (20 percent)
- Governance (15 percent)
- Leadership and reputation (10 percent)
This year's class of honorees profoundly illustrate how
