The World’s “Most Ethical” FCPA Violators
I look at many things through a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act lens. It’s an occupational hazard I guess.
So when looking at this year’s “Most Ethical Companies” list published by Ethisphere, I looked for FCPA violators or companies currently under FCPA scrutiny – and like prior year’s – there were quite a few.
For starters, the “Most Ethical Companies” list has become diluted (like many awards or recognitions). This year, Ethisphere recognized 138 companies for having best-in-class ethics and compliance programs, corporate governance practices, and cultures of integrity. By comparison, when Ethisphere first released its list in 2007 there were 92 companies.
But who knows, perhaps companies have become ethical.
