March 22, 2017 - Oshkosh Corp., which recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, has been recognized by the Ethisphere Institute as a 2017 World’s Most Ethical Company. It is the second year in a row Oshkosh Corp. has made the list, which includes 124 companies representing 52 industry sectors in 19 countries on five continents. Oshkosh Corporation was the only company selected in the “Trucks and Other Vehicles” category.
2017 is the 11th year that Ethisphere has honored those companies who recognize their role in society to influence and drive positive change, consider the impact of their actions on their employees, investors, customers and other key stakeholders and use their values and culture as an underpinning to the decisions they make every day.
“Reaching 100 years strong isn’t easy to do, and trust isn’t something you build overnight. For 100 years, Oshkosh has been committed to growing an ethical culture that is embodied by its leadership, team members and business partners. Congratulations to the Oshkosh Corporation team on this achievement,” said Ethisphere’s Chief Executive Officer,
Timothy Erblich
.
The World's Most Ethical Company 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 way. The information collected provides a comprehensive sampling of definitive criteria of core competencies, rather than all aspects of corporate governance, risk, sustainability, compliance and ethics.
Scores are generated in five key categories: ethics and compliance program (35%), corporate citizenship and responsibility (20%), culture of ethics (20%), governance (15%) and leadership, innovation and reputation (10%) and provided to all companies who participate in the process.
