Several big names from the mortgage lending and real estate industries have been named among the World’s Most Ethical Companies for 2020.
The rankings from Ethisphere are an annual recognition of those who prioritize ethical behavior as a means to improve the world, while enhancing business performance.
“Leading CEOs and organizations continue to prove our long-held hypothesis that conducting ethical business is the key to maximizing profits,” explained Ethisphere CEO, Timothy Erblich. “In addition to congratulating all 2020 honorees, we commend their commitment to continuous improvement and raising the collective bar for all companies.”
From real estate, JLL, CBRE, and Realogy all make this year’s list and are the only representatives from the industry apart from Thai firm DTGO.
“We are honored to be recognized by Ethisphere for the seventh year. Strong values underpin everything we do at CBRE and our people are as deeply committed to ethical business practices as they are to serving our clients’ needs,” said Bob Sulentic, president and chief executive officer of CBRE.
