Western Digital has been recognized six times and is one of only
five honorees in the technology industry. In 2024, 136 honorees
were recognized spanning 20 countries and 44 industries.
“As a company, we collectively work across the globe to embed
ethical business choices into the fabric of our organization,” said
Joe Santosuosso, VP and Chief Compliance Officer at Western
Digital. “This recognition for the sixth year in a row is a
testament to our philosophy that how we do business is as important
as the products we make.”
“It’s always inspiring to recognize the World’s Most Ethical
Companies®. Through the rigorous review process, we see the
dedication of these organizations to continually improving their
ethics, compliance, and governance practices to the benefit of all
stakeholders,” said Erica Salmon Byrne, Ethisphere’s Chief Strategy
Officer and Executive Chair. “Companies that elevate best-in-class
cultures of ethics and integrity set a standard for corporate
citizenship for their peers and competitors to follow.
Congratulations to Western Digital for achieving this honor and
demonstrating that strong ethics is good business.”
Methodology & Scoring
The World's Most Ethical Companies assessment is grounded in
Ethisphere's proprietary Ethics Quotient®, an extensive
questionnaire that requires companies to provide over 240 different
proof points on their culture of ethics; environmental, social, and
governance (ESG) practices; ethics and compliance program;
diversity, equity, & inclusion; and initiatives that support a
strong value chain. That data undergoes further qualitative
analysis by our panel of experts who spend thousands of hours
vetting and evaluating each year's group of applicants. This
process serves as an operating framework to capture and codify
truly best-in-class ethics and compliance practices from
organizations across industries and from around the world.
