The Ethisphere Institute sets international benchmarks for ethical business practices. To determine the ethical integrity of businesses throughout the world, Ethisphere assesses prospects based upon the Ethics Quotient™ (EQ) framework. Ethisphere developed EQ after compiling and analyzing several years of data. This data was then interpreted and refined by expert advice from Ethisphere’s Methodology Advisory Panel.

The EQ evaluates definitive criteria of core competencies for corporate governance, risk, sustainability, compliance and ethics. Scores are generated in five key categories:

  • ethics and compliance program (35%)
  • corporate citizenship and responsibility (20%)
  • culture of ethics (20%)
  • governance (15%)
  • leadership, innovation and reputation (10%)

JLL returns to the list as one of Ethispheres World’s Most Ethical Companies for the ninth year.

Colin Dyer, President and Chief Executive Officer at JLL, says, “We are very proud of being part of a small and elite group of global companies that have remained on Ethisphere’s list for so many years.”

He continues, “Integrity has been a fundamental value and essential part of our culture throughout our long history, and it continues to serve the best interests of our clients, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders.”

While JLL corporate establishes the framework of ethics within the organization, the employees uphold the statutes on a daily basis. Each year during performance reviews, employees are required to sign the Annual Certification of Commitment to Our Code. Employees re-certify their commitment to JLL ethics and corporate policies as part of the Individual Performance Management Program (IPMP).

Mark J. Ohringer, General Counsel and Chief Ethics Officer, states, “With particular thanks to our global team of Ethics Officers and Liaisons for maintaining the strength of our Ethics Everywhere program, we congratulate all of our colleagues around the world for doing their part to ensure that ethical business practices remain a foundational standard for JLL.”
