Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that it was named as one
of the Ethisphere Institute’s World’s Most Ethical (WME) Companies for
2013. This year marks the seventh consecutive year that Fluor has been
honored with the WME distinction. The Ethisphere Institute, a leading
international organization dedicated to the creation, advancement and
sharing of best practices in business ethics, governance,
anti-corruption and sustainability, selects the WME companies that
embrace ethical business practices and demonstrate industry leadership.
“At Fluor, we take our commitment to ethical business behavior very
seriously and through our global programs work to promote a culture that
helps our employees address this important issue in their everyday work
lives,” said Glenn Gilkey, senior vice president for human resources and
administration. “We are truly honored to receive this recognition for a
seventh straight year. Fluor owes its success in this area to our
diverse employee workforce, all of whom embody Fluor’s values of
integrity, safety, teamwork and excellence regardless of their job
assignment or work location.”
“Not only did more companies apply for the World's Most Ethical
Companies recognition this year than any year in the past, which
demonstrates that ethical activity is an important part of many of these
companies' business models, but we are also seeing more companies be
proactive and create new initiatives that expand ethics programs and
cultures across entire industries, such as industry-based ethics
associations and other activities,” said Alex Brigham, Executive
Director of Ethisphere. “We are excited to see the 2013 World's Most
Ethical Companies take these leadership positions, and embrace the
correlation between ethical behavior and improved financial performance.”
Ethisphere reviewed nominations from companies in more than 100
countries and 36 industries with a multi-step analysis. The methodology
for the World’s Most Ethical Companies includes reviewing codes of
ethics, litigation and regulatory infraction histories; evaluating the
investment in innovation and sustainable business practices; looking at
