Being an ethical company requires a never-ending commitment.

For VF Corporation, that hard work was recently recognized by the Ethisphere Institute, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices. The Institute named the company one of the 2018 World’s Most Ethical Companies.

 VF was one of 135 honorees and the only company in the apparel industry on this year’s list. It marks the second consecutive year VF has been named a Most Ethical Company.

“We are honored to be once again recognized as one of the world’s most ethical companies,” said Steve Rendle, VF’s Chairman, President and CEO. “At VF, we believe that business success and social responsibility are interconnected.  Our 65,000 associates around the world operate by this ethos every day, and this recognition is testament to their integrity, commitment and passion for doing the right thing across VF’s global enterprise.”

The World's Most Ethical Companies assessment is based upon the Ethisphere Institute’s Ethics Quotient^® (EQ) framework, which offers a quantitative way to assess a company’s performance in an objective, consistent and standardized manner.
