Dun & Bradstreet reported it has been recognized by the Ethisphere Institute, a global company defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices, as one of the 2018 World's Most Ethical Companies.

This is the tenth consecutive year Dun & Bradstreet has received the honor, underscoring their commitment to leading with integrity and prioritizing ethical business practices.

In 2018, the company noted, 135 honorees were recognized, spanning 23 countries and 57 industries. The twelfth class of honorees had record levels of involvement with their stakeholders and their communities around the world. Measuring and improving culture, leading authentically and committing to transparency, diversity and inclusion were all priorities for honorees.

"Being named a World's Most Ethical Company for the tenth year in row is a remarkable honor - one we do not take lightly and one that carries with it great responsibility," commented Louis Sapirman, the company's chief compliance officer. "Dun & Bradstreet will continue to strive each day to live our values and make doing the right thing foundational to everything we do."

"While the discourse around the world changed profoundly in 2017, a stronger voice emerged. Global corporations operating with a common rule of law are now society's strongest force to improve the human condition. This year we saw companies increasingly finding their voice. The World's Most Ethical Companies in particular continued to show exemplary leadership," explained Ethisphere's CEO, Timothy Erblich. "I congratulate everyone at Dun & Bradstreet for being recognized as one of the World's Most Ethical Companies."

Methodology & Scoring: The World's Most Ethical Companies 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 manner. The information collected provides a sampling of definitive criteria of core competencies rather than all aspects of corporate governance, risk, sustainability, compliance and ethics.
