Redmond's Parent Company, HCA, Named One of "World's Most Ethical Companies" Third Year in a Row

For the third year in a row, Redmond Regional Medical Center's parent company, HCA, has been recognized by the Ethisphere Institute as one of the 2012 World's Most Ethical Companies. This is the sixth year Ethisphere, a think-tank dedicated to the creation, advancement and sharing of best practices in business ethics, corporate social responsibility, anti-corruption and sustainability, has published the World's Most Ethical Companies rankings, which appear in Ethisphere Magazine's Q1 issue.

 

"The "Most Ethical Companies" recognition is meaningful to Redmond and HCA because it reflects not only our robust ethics and compliance program, but also our dedication to our patients, our support for our community, and our strong culture of honesty and integrity," said John Quinlivan, FACHE, Chief Executive Officer, Redmond Regional Medical Center.

 

"Each year the competition for World's Most Ethical Companies intensifies as the number of nominations submitted for consideration grows," said Alex Brigham, Executive Director of Ethisphere. "This year's winners know that a strong ethics program is a key component to a successful business model, and they continue to scrutinize their ethical standards to keep up with an ever-changing regulatory environment."

Through in-depth research and a multi-step analysis, Ethisphere reviewed nominations from companies in more than 100 countries and 36 industries. The methodology for the World's Most Ethical Companies includes reviewing codes of ethics, litigation and regulatory infraction histories; evaluating the investment in innovation and sustainable business practices; looking at activities designed to improve corporate citizenship; and studying nominations from senior executives, industry peers, suppliers and customers.
