Eaton, Hubbell, Rockwell Automation, and Schneider Electric have been recognized by the Ethisphere Institute as one of the 2023 World’s Most Ethical Companies. Ethisphere is a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices.
Ethisphere created the World’s Most Ethical Companies designation in 2007 to recognize companies that demonstrate exceptional leadership and a commitment to business integrity through best-in-class ethics, compliance, and governance practices.
“When we lead with integrity and do business right, we win,” said Joe Rodgers, Eaton’s senior vice president, Global Ethics and Compliance. “This recognition reflects that we live our values every day. I am exceptionally proud of our employees across the globe who are active, engaged and committed to our culture of integrity and believe that we all own ethics.”
This year, Eaton is one of nine companies to be recognized in the Industrial Manufacturing category, and it’s the 12th time the company has been named to the list.
In 2023, 135 companies were recognized, spanning 19 countries and 46 industries. The World’s Most Ethical Companies assessment process includes more than 200 questions on culture, environmental and social practices, ethics and compliance activities, governance, diversity, and initiatives that support a strong value chain. The process serves as an operating framework to capture and codify the leading practices of organizations across industries and around the globe.
Earlier this year, Ethisphere also recognized Eaton’s commitment to ethics and compliance in its winter edition of Ethisphere Magazine, where Joe Rodgers revealed Eaton’s strategy for building and maintaining an ethical culture. Read the article here.

Integrity is one of Hubbell’s core values. I’m pleased to receive this recognition on behalf of Hubbell’s employees who demonstrate our strong ethical culture and values every day.”
“Ethics matters. Organizations that commit to business integrity through robust programs and practices not only elevate standards and expectations for all, but also have better long-term performance,” said Ethisphere CEO, Erica Salmon Byrne. “We continue to be inspired by the World’s Most Ethical Companies honorees and their dedication to making real impact for their stakeholders and displaying exemplary values-based leadership. Congratulations to Hubbell for earning a place in the World’s Most Ethical Companies community.”
