12 consecutive years of ethical recognition
Today, Thrivent is celebrating being named as one of the World's Most Ethical Companies for the 12th year in a row—more than a decade of being recognized as a corporate leader that’s doing the right thing and infuses our values into all that we do. This recognition reinforces our position as a leader that’s committed to acting with strong business ethics as we help guide our millions of clients nationwide to use their finances as a way to unleash their purpose.
Ethics matters. Organizations that commit to business integrity through robust programs and practices not only elevate standards and expectations for all, but also have better long-term performance.
How Ethisphere chooses ethical company award recipients
The list, established by Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices, recognizes a select group of companies demonstrating exceptional programs and practices. Participating companies are measured on their culture of ethics, ethics and compliance program, environmental and societal impact, governance, and leadership and reputation.
Each year, we must demonstrate that we have the robust structure and systems in place to ensure we’re doing the right thing. That we’re living out our values. That we’re thorough in our response if something doesn’t seem aligned with who we are. And that we’re continuing to look to the future as a leader in business ethics. These rigorous criteria make us proud to be one of 135 companies recognized around the globe, and one of only seven companies in the financial services category.
“Ethics matters. Organizations that commit to business integrity through robust programs and practices not only elevate standards and expectations for all, but also have better long-term performance,” said Ethisphere CEO, Erica Salmon Byrne. “We continue to be inspired by the World’s Most Ethical Companies honorees and their dedication to making real impact for their stakeholders and displaying exemplary values-based leadership. Congratulations to Thrivent for earning a place in the World’s Most Ethical Companies community.”
Our high standard of business ethics and culture of integrity remain at the forefront of Thrivent as we help our millions of clients nationwide meet their financial goals and lead lives of service and faith.
How our history continues to guide us today
Our commitment to ethics and integrity isn’t new for Thrivent. For more than a century, we’ve been helping people build their financial futures and live more generous lives. We started out back in 1902, and the values and ethics that steered us then are the same ones that compel us in 2023.
“Thrivent was founded more than 120 years ago to help our members live lives of service and faith, and we’re unique in our focus on generosity and service to the community. One of our core company values is that ‘We Do What’s Right,’ and it’s embedded in our team culture and in the way we do business,” said Terry Rasmussen, president and CEO of Thrivent. “We appreciate the recognition as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere, and we’re proud to be recognized with this distinction for the 12th consecutive year. Our high standard of business ethics and culture of integrity remain at the forefront of Thrivent as we help our millions of clients nationwide meet their financial goals and lead lives of service and faith.”
Our ongoing commitment to our clients
Receiving this honor for 12 years in a row wouldn’t be possible without the daily commitment of our workforce to carry out our organization’s values in everything they do. Our workforce demonstrates our values in their care for our clients and commitment to bringing Thrivent’s purpose and promise to life so we can help people make the most of all they’ve been given.
We couldn’t be prouder of the high standards that continue to drive our purpose-based organization forward. Thank you for your trust in Thrivent. We’re honored to serve you.
