HORSHAM, PA — Grupo Bimbo was recognized for the seventh consecutive year as one of the “World’s Most Ethical Companies” by Ethisphere, a global leader in the definition and promotion of ethical corporate standards. The 2023 edition of this list includes 135 companies from 19 countries and across 48 industries.
“For Grupo Bimbo, acting with integrity is a priority,” said Ignacio Stepancic, global compliance leader of Grupo Bimbo. “All of us who are a part of this great family are trained and sensitized in the importance of normative compliance because we are convinced that being a global ethical company is an everyday task and one for each person that works here. This year, we are the only Mexican company in the listing, and it is undoubtedly a milestone of which we are very proud. We hope that more companies apply to Ethisphere and are recognized for how they act toward their different stakeholders.”
Grupo Bimbo, parent company to Bimbo Bakeries USA, was recognized of its dedication to ethical corporate practices, which has positively impacted its associates, the communities in which it operates and other key audiences.
