Two of the most prominent real estate firms and a Canadian lender have been named among the most ethical companies in the world.
Global real estate firms JLL and CBRE and Canadian banking group BMO are among the companies included in the 2019 World’s Most Ethical Companies rankings from Ethisphere Institute.
"Today, employees, investors and stakeholders are putting their greatest trust in companies to take leadership on societal issues. Companies that take the long view with a purpose-based strategy are proven to not only outperform but last," said Ethisphere's Chief Executive Officer, Timothy Erblich.
It’s the thirteenth year of the rankings, which rates firms on several criteria including their ethics and compliance program, ethics culture, corporate citizenship and responsibility, governance, and leadership and reputation.
"The values of teamwork, ethics and excellence are an integral part of JLL," said JLL Global Chief Legal Officer Alan Tse. "We are committed to building a better tomorrow for our clients, our people and our communities and, we are honored to be included in the Ethisphere Institute's list of the 2019 World's Most Ethical Companies for the 12th consecutive year."
