With Milliken’s inclusion on the 2018 World’s Most Ethical Companies list presented by Ethisphere Institute, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices, we are honored to be recognized for the 12th year among other esteemed organizations globally. It helps validate our progress towards being a transparent and ethically minded company, but it also serves as a charge to continue growing and learning in pursuit of the highest levels of integrity.
This week, as we celebrate, we also reflect on what it means to work for and with a values-based company.
From advocating transparency to aligning ourselves with core values, integrity has always been core to Milliken’s business practices. Join us in exploring five reasons why we believe infusing integrity into every facet of a business is transformative – personally and professionally.
Integrity advocates transparency
An organization that celebrates transparency, will also emphasize transparent business practices.
Integrity aligns with associates’ personal values
An integral part of having passion for your work day-in and day-out is feeling confident your company’s values align with your own. This creates a lasting career where your growth is key to the company’s overall development.
Integrity exudes dependability and teamwork
When associates embrace a culture of ethics, the entire organization benefits from the ability to ‘do what is right.’ Because of this, associates can count on one another, on their leaders and on the company as a whole, which in turn fosters an environment of security and steadfastness.
Integrity ushers in success
How a company achieves success is equally as important as the success they achieve. In every respect, a company’s success should take into account all elements of those it serves – from the associates employed by the organization to the community in which it resides.
Integrity cares about making a difference
An organization that believes in ethical behavior also believes in investing in our world through meaningful volunteer and charitable pledges, as well as committing to sustainable innovations and practices.
We are honored to be named among 135 global leaders in ethically built, values-driven companies, and we understand that this recognition would not be possible without the dedication of our more than 7,000 associates around the world. Thank you for your dedication to Milliken and to the values we uphold.
