Behind this honor is a true dedication and a commitment to advancing business integrity. This approach is good for business – employees and other stakeholders value companies that prioritize the kinds of practices we measure with our process."_

The 2025 list marks the 19th edition of the World's Most Ethical Companies® program, which showcases organizations that excel in management, governance, business impact, corporate culture, and ethical compliance. Flex stands out as one of 136 honorees spanning 19 countries and 44 different industries.

This scorecard is instrumental in identifying potential risks, developing action plans, and recognizing trends that further strengthen ethical practices in all facets of operation.

The selection process for the World's Most Ethical Companies is grounded in Ethisphere's proprietary Ethics Quotient®. Companies must submit over 240 proof points demonstrating how their practices uphold robust ethics and compliance, governance, and social and environmental responsibility.
