Bangalore:
Indian IT bellwether Wipro Ltd has been recognised for the second
year as one of the world's most ethical firms by leading business
ethics think-tank Ethisphere Institute, the company said
Wednesday.
"The recognition is for our commitment to ethical leadership,
compliance practices and corporate citizenship," the global
software major said in a statement issued here.
As a leading US-based international organisation dedicated to
creation, advancement and sharing of best practices in business
ethics, governance and anti-corruption and sustainability, the
institute selects global firms that embrace ethical business
practice and demonstrate industry leadership, forcing peers to
follow them.
"Integrity and ethics have always been a core part of how we think
and act. Our endeavour is to keep raising the bar with our
stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers and
investors," Wipro chief sustainability officer Anurag Behar said
in the statement.
According to Ethisphere executive director Alex Brigham, more
companies had applied this year than in the past for the
recognition, affirming that ethical activity was an important part
of their business models.
"We are also seeing more global firms being proactive and taking
initiatives to expand ethics programmes and cultures across
industry verticals," Brigham noted.
Companies from 100 countries across 36 industry verticals applied
for the recognition this year.
