The
Hartford has been recognized by the Ethisphere Institute as a 2015
World’s Most Ethical Company®. The Hartford is one of only
two property & casualty insurance companies to receive the recognition
this year.
“The Hartford is proud to once again be recognized as a World’s Most
Ethical Company,” said Alan Kreczko, executive vice president and
general counsel at The Hartford. “For more than 200 years, The Hartford
has served our customers with honesty and integrity. Receiving this
award for the seventh year demonstrates The Hartford’s commitment to
ethical leadership.”
The Hartford’s culture is built on a foundation of ethical decision
making, backed by a strong ethics and compliance program that emphasizes
leadership accountability and proactively preventing compliance-related
issues. These values are demonstrated in the way The Hartford’s
employees make decisions, promote an inclusive work environment,
volunteer in local communities, and become ambassadors for environmental
stewardship.
“The World’s Most Ethical Companies use ethics as a means to further
define their industry leadership and understand that creating an ethical
culture involves more than just an outward facing message or a handful
of senior executives saying the right thing,” said Ethisphere’s Chief
Executive Officer Timothy Erblich. “Earning this recognition involves
the collective action of a workforce from the top down. We congratulate
everyone at The Hartford for this extraordinary achievement.”
Ethisphere recognizes organizations that continue to raise the bar on
ethical leadership and corporate behavior. Companies are scored in five
key categories: ethics and compliance program; corporate citizenship and
responsibility; culture of ethics; governance; and leadership,
innovation and reputation. Ethisphere named 132 companies to this year's
World's Most Ethical Companies list.
