This is the third consecutive year and fifth time overall that the Company has received the designation by Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices.
“Wyndham Worldwide’s culture of service encourages all levels of associates to do what’s right, beyond what’s expected,” said Stephen P. Holmes, chairman and chief executive officer, Wyndham Worldwide. “This distinction recognizes a shared focus and collaborative effort by individuals and teams across our company, from our Board of Directors to each of our associates.”
This year marks the eleventh anniversary of Ethisphere and the World’s Most Ethical Companies designation which recognizes those companies who align principle with action, work tirelessly to make trust part of their corporate DNA, and in doing so, shape future industry standards by introducing tomorrow’s best practices today.
“Ethical behavior is the lens through which we make decisions and anchor our commitment to each other, our partners, our customers, and our communities,” said Scott McLester, executive vice president and general counsel, Wyndham Worldwide. “From attracting global talent, to upholding the Count On Me! commitment and ethical business principles, we ensure our global network is comprised of good corporate citizens.”
Rooted in its Count On Me! service philosophy, integrity and accountability are embedded in the Company’s culture. Maintaining a strong focus on ethical practices is part of its robust corporate social responsibility commitment. Some of the Company’s activities and accomplishments include:
“At Wyndham Worldwide, we have an open door policy and engage our associates on maintaining ethical standards and embodying our Company culture,” added Korin Neff, senior vice president and chief compliance officer. “Ethics are embedded in our core values, which are the foundation of the distinctive culture that drives our growth and inspires the great experiences we create for associates and the people we serve.”
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.
