Bunge Recognized as One of the 2026 World's Most Ethical Companies®

"Being named a World's Most Ethical Companies honoree reflects the work our teams around the world have done to strengthen our ethics and compliance culture across Bunge, in a year of immense transformation," said Lisa Ware-Alexander, VP, Corporate Secretary and Chief Compliance and Ethics Officer at Bunge. "Strong governance and ethical business practices aren't optional for us. They are part of our core value of ‘We Do What's Right' and are essential to how we pursue our purpose of connecting farmers to consumers to deliver food, feed, and fuel to the world. We appreciate how our board and leadership have set the tone at the top to guide our collective action, and we'll continue to uphold these values in markets where we operate."

Bunge is one of only nine honorees in the Food, Beverage & Agriculture category. In 2026, 138 honorees were recognized, spanning 17 countries and 40 industries. This year's class includes 19 first-time honorees, including Bunge.

"Congratulations to Bunge for achieving recognition as one of the World's Most Ethical Companies. As we mark the 20th class of honorees, this group continues to raise the bar for business integrity by embedding ethics into everyday decision-making and long-term strategy. Companies with strong ethics, compliance, and governance programs are built for better long-term performance," said Erica Salmon Byrne, Ethisphere's Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Chair.

Methodology & Scoring

The World's Most Ethical Companies assessment is grounded in Ethisphere's proprietary Ethics Quotient®, which requires companies to provide 240+ documented proof points on practices that support robust ethics and compliance, including: corporate governance; program structure & resourcing; written standards; training, awareness, & communication; risk assessment & auditing; investigations, enforcement, discipline & incentives; measurement of ethical culture; third-party risk management, and environmental & social impact.

That data undergoes further qualitative analysis by our panel of experts who spend thousands of hours vetting and evaluating each year's group of applicants.

This process serves as an operating framework to capture and codify best-in-class ethics and compliance practices from organizations across industries and from around the world.
