Named as ethical

For the fifth time, the Ethisphere Institute has named Rockwell Automation as one of the 'World's Most Ethical (WME) Companies'.

The Ethisphere Institute is an organisation dedicated to the creation, advancement and sharing of best practices in business ethics, governance, anti-corruption and sustainability.

Alex Brigham, executive director of Ethisphere, comments: "The 2013 WME companies are those that truly embrace ethical business practices and demonstrate industry leadership, forcing peers to follow suit or fall behind. More companies applied for WME Companies recognition this year than any year in the past, which shows ethical activity is an important part of many of these companies' business models."
