Clarios Honored as One of the World’s Most Ethical Companies

Provider of advanced energy storage solutions Clarios has been recognized by Ethisphere as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies. This marks the third consecutive year that Clarios has received this award, highlighting the company’s commitment to ethical business practices, sustainability and corporate governance. Only 136 companies globally have received this award, with just seven being from the automotive industry.

“We are thrilled to be recognized as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies for the third year in a row,” said Mark Wallace, president and CEO of Clarios. “This honor is a testament to the dedication and integrity of our nearly 18,000 team members worldwide. Their commitment to our core values and ethical standards drives our mission to create sustainable and innovative energy solutions.”

The evaluation process conducted by Ethisphere encompasses over 240 proof points that cover practices that support robust ethics and compliance, governance, a culture of ethics, environmental and social impact, and initiatives that support a strong value chain. That data undergoes further qualitative analysis by Ethisphere’s panel of experts who spend thousands of hours vetting and evaluating each year’s group of applicants.

“Clarios continues to demonstrate that strong ethics and business success go hand in hand,” said Erica Salmon Byrne, executive chair & chief strategy officer of Ethisphere. “Their commitment to ethical excellence serves as an inspiration to other companies.”

“Being named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies is not only a recognition of past achievements but also a commitment to continuous improvement and adherence to the highest ethical standards. This prestigious award underscores our dedication to fostering a culture of integrity and ethical excellence,” continues Wallace.
