SCA, Stockholm, Sweden, has been recognized for the sixth consecutive year by Ethisphere Institute, New York, N.Y., USA, as one of the 2013 World’s Most Ethical Companies. The annual list from leading international think-tank Ethisphere highlights organizations that show leadership in promoting ethical business standards. The 2013 WME companies are those that truly embrace ethical business practice and demonstrate industry leadership, forcing peers to follow suit or fall behind.

"At SCA we push beyond statements about how we do business ethically and translate those words into actions every day. That means we demonstrate respect for the environment by investing in sustainable business practices and we follow a detailed code of conduct in the way we work with employees, our customers, and our suppliers," said Don Lewis, president of SCA Americas. "We are proud and honored that the ethical foundation our company is built on has been recognized with a place on the World’s Most Ethical Companies list for the sixth consecutive year. This recognition signifies our deep commitment to ethical business practices and the unwavering dedication to these same high standards from employees at every level."

Out of a record number of nominations for the award, SCA earned the coveted recognition by implementing and maintaining upright business practices and initiatives that are instrumental to the company's success, benefit the community, and raise the bar for ethical standards within the industry. The 2013 list is the largest list since the award’s inception in 2007.
