SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland,
Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As
a sign of its longstanding commitment to ethical business
practices, TE Connectivity, a world leader in connectors and
sensors, has been named as one of the 2021 World's Most Ethical
Companies by Ethisphere.
TE has been recognized for seven years in a row and is one of
only two 2021 honorees in the electronics and components industry.
Ethisphere honored 135 companies this year, spanning 22 countries
and 47 industries.
"We hold ourselves and our partners to the highest of ethical
standards as we work toward our purpose of creating a safer,
sustainable, productive and connected world with our technology,"
said TE CEO Terrence Curtin. "I am
proud of our team's consistent commitment to our ethics and I am
honored that Ethisphere has once again recognized us for our
efforts."
TE's ethics and compliance culture is designed to empower its
employees and partners to do business in a way that does not
compromise the company's core values of integrity, accountability,
teamwork and innovation. TE offers a multitude of resources to
ensure employees understand the company's values, including Ethical
Connections, a tool that enables managers to facilitate discussions
about ethical dilemmas with their teams. TE managers have conducted
nearly 18,000 of these conversations since it was created in
2013.
TE maintained its focus on ethical standards during the COVID-19
pandemic, a time when Ethisphere CEO Timothy Erblich saw values guide how companies
responded to uncertain times.
"While addressing the tough challenges of 2020, we saw companies
lead – above all other institutions – on earning the trust of
stakeholders through resilience and a commitment to ethics and
integrity," he said. "The World's Most Ethical Companies honorees
continue to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to the highest
values and positively impacting the communities they serve.
Congratulations to everyone at TE Connectivity for earning the
World's Most Ethical Companies designation."
The World's Most Ethical Companies assessment process includes
more than 200 questions on culture, environmental and social
practices, ethics and compliance activities, governance, diversity
and initiatives to support a strong value chain. This year, the
question set was expanded to gauge how applicants are adapting and
responding to the global health pandemic, environmental, social,
and governance factors, safety, equity, and inclusion and social
justice.
