Company receives honor for 11th consecutive year.

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- For the 11th consecutive year, U.S. Bank has been named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies® by Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices.

Ethisphere recognized 137 honorees that span 18 countries. U.S. Bank is one of four honorees in the banking category and the only U.S.-based bank to be honored for 11 consecutive years. The listed 2025 World’s Most Ethical Companies® honorees outperformed a comparable index of global companies by 7.8% from January 2020 to January 2025.

“Our employees are focused every day on doing the right thing for our clients, communities and shareholders,” said Andy Cecere, U.S. Bank Chairman and CEO. “Their efforts and their commitment to integrity earned this honor, and I am proud of what we have accomplished as an organization.”

The World's Most Ethical Companies assessment is grounded in Ethisphere's proprietary Ethics Quotient®, an extensive questionnaire that requires companies to provide more than 240 different proof points on their culture of ethics; governance practices; ethics and compliance program; and initiatives that support a strong value chain. That data undergoes further qualitative analysis by a 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 truly best-in-class ethics and compliance practices from organizations across industries and from around the world.

“Congratulations to U.S. Bank for achieving recognition as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies®,” said Erica Salmon Byrne, Ethisphere’s chief strategy officer and executive chair. “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.”
