Salesforce Named To World's Most Ethical Companies List For 16Th Year

(MENAFN- Mid-East Info) The Ethisphere Institute, a global leader in defining and measuring corporate ethical standards of business practices, has once again recognized Salesforce as one of the World's Most Ethical CompaniesTM.

Why it matters: In the age of agentic AI, in which organizations are deploying tools that delegate routine tasks to autonomous AI agents, trust and ethics must take center stage. Trust has been Salesforce's No. 1 value since the company's founding in 1999, and it underlies everything the company does with its products and solutions, and its commitment to ethical conduct and good governance.

These principles are some of the reasons why companies like SharkNinja, Precina, and 1-800Accountant choose to do business with Salesforce and are deploying Salesforce's Agentforce digital labor platform in key parts of their businesses. This latest recognition - the 16th honor from The Ethisphere Institute - underscores Salesforce's commitment to ensuring transparency, ethical conduct, and good governance for all stakeholders.

On background: The Ethisphere Institute's 2025 list honors 136 organizations across 19 countries and 44 industries.

• The Institute's selection process evaluates organizations' culture, environmental and social practices, ethics and compliance activities, governance, and initiatives to support a strong value chain.
• Only a select number of companies with exceptional ethics programs and a commitment to advancing business integrity make the annual list.

What they're saying:“Congratulations to Salesforce for achieving recognition as one of the World's Most Ethical Companies®. Behind this honor is a true dedication and a commitment to advancing business integrity. This approach is good for business – employees and other stakeholders value companies that prioritize the kinds of practices we measure with our process.” – Erica Salmon Byrne, Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Chair, Ethisphere

The Salesforce perspective:“At Salesforce, we all have a stake in maintaining trust and fostering our ethical culture. As we continue to pioneer the development of agentic AI, we are keenly aware of the ethical standards that must be upheld and centered throughout all levels of innovation. Our commitment to trust unites us, strengthens our technology, and allows us to deliver cutting-edge solutions to our customers with pride and confidence.” – Sabastian Niles, President & Chief Legal Officer, Salesforce.
