14th Most Ethical Company Award

Indus­tri­al automa­tion and dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion com­pa­ny Rock­well Automa­tion has been named one of the World’s Most Eth­i­cal Com­pa­nies for 2022 by Ethi­sphere, a leader in set­ting stan­dards for defin­ing and pro­mot­ing eth­i­cal busi­ness practices.

This marks the 14th time the com­pa­ny has been includ­ed in a pres­ti­gious list of com­pa­nies that stand out for their excep­tion­al lead­er­ship and com­mit­ment to busi­ness integri­ty. In addi­tion, the award high­lights the indus­try-lead­ing ethics, com­pli­ance and cor­po­rate gov­er­nance prac­tices exhib­it­ed by the honorees.

“We are proud to once again receive this award from Ethi­sphere, which high­lights our com­mit­ment to ethics and integri­ty. We do extra­or­di­nary things for our indus­tri­al cus­tomers. We’re pas­sion­ate about the chal­lenges they present because our per­for­mance plays a sig­nif­i­cant part in mak­ing work more pro­duc­tive and sustainable.”

- Blake Moret, Chair­man and CEO

Ethics and integri­ty are among the most pow­er­ful dri­vers of employ­ee engage­ment at Rock­well Automa­tion. Addi­tion­al­ly, this com­mit­ment is under­pinned and cul­ti­vat­ed by a cul­ture of open com­mu­ni­ca­tion, includ­ing the com­pa­ny’s long-stand­ing Ombuds pro­gram. Rock­well also insists that 100 per­cent of its board mem­bers, employ­ees and con­trac­tors com­plete annu­al ethics train­ing, which is updat­ed every year.

“Busi­ness lead­ers today are faced with the immense task of mak­ing their actions eth­i­cal, respon­si­ble and trust­wor­thy in order to effect pos­i­tive change,” reports Tim­o­thy Erblich, CEO. “For us, the hon­orees rec­og­nized as the world’s most eth­i­cal com­pa­nies con­tin­ue to be a key source of inspi­ra­tion for the com­mit­ment they have made to integri­ty, sus­tain­abil­i­ty, good gov­er­nance and community.”

The Group was rec­og­nized as one of 136 hon­orees from 22 coun­tries and 45 indus­tries. The full list of 2022 award win­ners can be viewed on Ethi­sphere’s web­site. Based on the pro­pri­etary Ethics Quo­tient, the eval­u­a­tion process for the world’s most eth­i­cal com­pa­nies includes more than 200 ques­tions on cor­po­rate cul­ture, envi­ron­men­tal and social prac­tices, ethics and com­pli­ance activ­i­ties, good gov­er­nance and ini­tia­tives to sup­port a strong val­ue chain.
