SCA has been ranked one of the most ethical companies in the world 2008 by the Ethisphere Institute think-tank in New York, US.
SCA's Yogi Pillay received the award.
The Ethisphere Institute is dedicated to the research and promotion of profitable best practices in governance, business ethics, compliance and corporate responsibility. Ethisphere uses rigorous criteria in its process to evaluate the world's most ethical companies.
A total of 95 companies earned this honor, selected from a pool of more than 5,000 businesses that were evaluated. Each of the 2008 World's Most Ethical Companies are standouts in their industries. With SCA are companies such as Starbucks, IKEA, General Electric, Cisco and Sun Microsystems.
“We are honoured to be recognised for our commitment to doing business in a responsible manner. In our experience there are substantial benefits to be gained in having shared core values and a strong ethical culture - especially in a multi-national, multi-cultural growing organisation such as ours,” says Yogi Pillay, SCA Corporate Social Responsibility Programmes Director, who attended the award ceremony in New York that took place on 4 June.
