Alcoa Again Named One of the World's Most Ethical Companies

Alcoa has again been named one of the World's Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere, a think-tank dedicated to the research and promotion of profitable best practices in global governance, business ethics, compliance and corporate responsibility. The recipients were announced during the Ethisphere and Forbes joint-conference, ‘Driving Profit through Ethical Leadership’ held in New York. Winners will also be featured in Ethisphere Magazine, the quarterly publication of the Institute.

‘At Alcoa, our Values guide our behaviour at every level of the organisation worldwide. This recognition of our ethical business practice leadership exemplifies our commitment to integrity and being an upstanding corporate citizen,’ said Klaus Kleinfeld, Alcoa CEO and President.

In assembling the rankings of the World's Most Ethical Companies, researchers and analysts reviewed over 10,000 of the world's leading companies on six continents. Ethisphere analysts reviewed codes of ethics, litigation and regulatory infraction histories; evaluated investment in innovation and sustainable business practices; looked at companies' activities to improve corporate citizenship; studied nominations from senior executives, industry peers, suppliers and customers; and worked with consumer action groups for feedback and rating.
