[QUOTE="Gary Host, post: 3134928, member: 68859"] YUP. Nothing out of the ordinary here... Just to let yall know, I did a little fact checking on this worthless institution that issued this. It's almost unbelievable, how little effort they put into hiding the fact that this is totally bogus and a completely financed PR move...by the honoreeS. Yes, that's plural, because what none of those companies boasting about themselves is telling you is that ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR of them are on that list of "MOST ETHICAL EVIL INCARNATE COMPANIES of 2017". I've wrote the media contact of Ethisphere to inquire about a few things, like how many companies were in the running for this prestigious award, but haven't gotten a response. Apparently, they are not ashamed of their deceitful (and probably illegal) conduct and have released a pdf file called 'Early Insights - 2017'. These insights are to lend the public a hand in understanding what things they took into consideration when selecting the 'honorees'. This is verbatim, straight from that pdf: "Seventy-one percent of honorees are providing specific training to managers on their special responsibilities to be ethical role models. The breadth of content they’re providing is solid; 95 percent of honorees cover the manager’s responsibility to promote culture, 89 percent discuss incorporating ethics into decision making and 96 percent address how to encourage employees to speak up.
