The 16th annual list recognizes companies “that have demonstrated a commitment to ethical business practices through programs that positively impact employees, communities and broader stakeholders, and contribute to sustainable and profitable long-term business performance.”
This year’s list recognizes 136 organizations in 22 countries and 45 industries.
The nine healthcare providers — which have consistently made the list in years past — for 2022:
- Baptist Health South Florida (Miami)

- Kaiser Permanente (Oakland, Calif.)

Ethisphere said its assessment process includes data on culture; environmental and social practices; ethics and compliance activities; governance; diversity, equity and inclusion; and initiatives that support a strong value chain. For the most recent assessment, there were questions about programmatic changes made because of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as a new area around risk assessment. Companies must apply and pay a fee to participate.
