ADM has been recognized every year since 2020 and is one of only 9 honorees in the food, beverage, and agriculture category, reflecting the company's consistent focus on fostering a strong, ethical culture across its global operations. In 2026, 138 honorees were recognized, spanning 17 countries and 40 industries. This year's class includes 19 first-time honorees, and six organizations recognized 20 times.

"Each day, our colleagues around the world work to unlock the power of nature to enrich the quality of life with honesty and integrity," said Chair of the Board and CEO Juan Luciano. "This recognition is a reflection of our team's commitment to doing what's right and strengthening our culture year after year. We remain focused on transparency, accountability and continually improving the way we operate to serve our stakeholders and communities."

"Congratulations to ADM for achieving recognition as one of the World's Most Ethical Companies®. As we mark the 20th class of honorees, this group continues to raise the bar for business integrity by embedding ethics into everyday decision-making and long-term strategy. Companies with strong ethics, compliance, and governance programs are built for better long-term performance," said Erica Salmon Byrne, Ethisphere's Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Chair.

The World's Most Ethical Companies assessment is grounded in Ethisphere's proprietary Ethics Quotient®, which requires companies to provide 240+ documented proof points on practices that support robust ethics and compliance, including: corporate governance; program structure & resourcing; written standards; training, awareness & communication; risk assessment & auditing; investigations, enforcement, discipline & incentives; measurement of ethical culture; third-party risk management, and environmental & social impact.

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 best-in-class ethics and compliance practices from organizations across industries and from around the world.
