BETHESDA, MD.—For the eighth time, Marriott International has been recognized by the Ethisphere Institute as a 2015 World’s Most Ethical Company. The World’s Most Ethical Companies designation recognizes organizations that have had a material impact on the way business is conducted by fostering a culture of ethics and transparency at every level of the company.

Marriott was selected for showing leadership in promoting ethical business standards. This recognition is a testament to Marriott’s leadership and commitment to governance, ethics and compliance policies that not only meet legal minimums and industry standards, but exceed them.

“We are very pleased to again be recognized by Ethisphere, and we are fortunate to have a compliance and ethics program that allows us a place on this distinguished list of companies,” says Ed Ryan, Executive Vice President & Chief Counsel for Marriott. “It’s an honor to be on this list, and our congratulations go to the other companies so recognized.”

Marriott’s business relies upon integrity and good judgment, its Business Conduct Guide and related company standards are available to all members of the Marriott community with guidance on not only what is legal but also what is right. The Guide was written by its associates for its associates. This Guide supports the company’s pledge to uncompromising business standards and a fair and ethical workplace. The guide is published in 15 languages and available on Marriott’s publicly accessible website.

“The World’s Most Ethical Companies embrace the correlation between ethical business practice and improved company performance,” said Ethisphere’s CEO, Timothy Erblich. “These companies use ethics as a means to further define their industry leadership and understand that creating an ethical culture and earning the World’s Most Ethical Companies recognition involves more than just an outward facing message or a handful of senior executives saying the right thing. Earning this recognition involves the collective action of a global workforce from the top down. We congratulate everyone at Marriott for this extraordinary achievement.”
