DALLAS (March 15, 2022) — AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, announced today that it has been recognized by Ethisphere as one of the 2022 World’s Most Ethical Companies. This is the sixth year AECOM has been honored with this designation for the company’s commitment to integrity and making a positive impact. Ethisphere is a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices and in 2022, the organization recognized 136 companies spanning 22 countries and 47 industries.

“AECOM is a purpose-driven company, and this recognition by Ethisphere reflects the dedication by our people to deliver excellence through their work and maintain the highest levels of ethics in our business,” said Troy Rudd, AECOM’s chief executive officer. “As a trusted partner to our clients, our commitment to ethics is core to prioritizing ESG in all that we do and leading our industry toward a more sustainable and equitable future.”

“Congratulations to AECOM for earning the World’s Most Ethical Companies designation for the sixth time, and the second year in a row,” said Ethisphere CEO, Timothy Erblich. “We commend the AECOM team for its commitment to upholding high ethical standards in its project work and operations — and its dedication to infusing ethics into its strategy — an approach that creates a positive impact on the communities it serves. We are inspired by the World’s Most Ethical Companies honorees and their dedication to integrity, sustainability, governance, and community.”
