For the fourth consecutive year, the Ethisphere Institute has named Booz Allen among the World’s Most Ethical Companies. The annual list recognizes global companies dedicated to integrity, sustainability, governance, and community with a commitment to ethical behavior, accountability, and driving positive change. In 2023, 135 honorees were recognized spanning 19 countries and 46 industries.
The World’s Most Ethical Companies assessment includes more than 200 questions on culture, environmental and social practices, ethics and compliance activities, governance, diversity, and activities that support a strong value chain. The process serves as an operating framework to capture and codify leading practices of organizations from across industries and throughout the world.
“Booz Allen’s commitment to high ethical standards goes hand in hand with our values and our purpose: empower people to change the world,” said Booz Allen President and CEO Horacio Rozanski. “Our employees reflect this commitment every day as they support our clients’ missions and each other with ferocious integrity and passionate service. I’m proud Booz Allen has once again achieved this distinguished recognition as we drive the future forward together."
Repeat inclusion on the World’s Most Ethical Companies list is just one of the firm’s many recent honors. Booz Allen has also been recognized multiple times by the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, Fortune’s Most Admired Companies, Forbes’ Top Female-Friendly Companies, Forbes’ Best Employers for Diversity, Forbes’ Best Employers for Veterans, and Disability:IN's Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion.
Ethisphere’s 2023 Ethics Index, the collection of publicly traded companies recognized as recipients of this year’s World’s Most Ethical Companies designation, outperformed a comparable index of large-cap companies by 13.6 percentage points over the past five calendar years.
“It’s an honor to have Booz Allen’s leadership, independent and diverse corporate governance, and corporate integrity receive this prestigious recognition once again,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer Nancy Laben. “Our focus on integrating best practices in ethics and compliance throughout our business has a direct and meaningful impact on our employees, clients, communities, and stockholders, and we are proud to continue setting the bar for our industry as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies.”
