For the fifth  consecutive year, Symantec has been named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by the Ethisphere Institute!

It continues to be an honor for our company to make it onto this prestigious list. I can share with you that the requirements for inclusion seem to have become more complex and demanding over the years. This might speak to the ever-growing and developing ethics and compliance field itself, to the ongoing rise of corporate responsibility as a value and reputation driver, or just to the increasing popularity of this particular list. One thing I do know is that Symantec is greatly honored by this recognition and we will continue to strive to operate with integrity. It’s not just about being recognized as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies; even though that’s a really great thing. What drives Symantec is our ongoing commitment to maintaining trust with our employees, customer, shareholders and the community at large. 

Cecily Joseph is Symantec's Senior Director of Corporate Responsibility and Compliance.
