Mining News: Mining Spotlight: Granite wins ethical leadership honors

Granite Construction Inc. said it has been recognized by Ethisphere Institute as a 2015 World’s Most Ethical Company®.

Ethisphere is a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices. The World’s Most Ethical Companies designation recognizes those organizations that have had a material impact on the way business is conducted by fostering a culture of ethics and transparency at every level of the company. The World’s Most Ethical Company assessment is based upon the institute’s Ethics Quotient™ framework developed over years of research to provide a means to assess an organization’s performance in an objective, consistent and standardized way. The information collected provides a comprehensive sampling of definitive criteria of core competencies, rather than all aspects of corporate governance, risk, sustainability, compliance and ethics. Granite is one of only two companies in the construction and building materials category honored this year.

“We are extremely proud to be once again named as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies,” said James H. Roberts, president and chief executive officer of Granite Construction. “This recognition exemplifies the strength of Granite’s team. I applaud and congratulate our employees. Our people are living the Granite code of conduct each and every day, and it is our continuing commitment to foster a strong culture of ethics and integrity for generations to come.”
