We Are One of the World’s Most Ethical Companies: Ethispher
Ethisphere has recognized us as one of the 2026 World’s Most Ethical Companies, marking ten consecutive years of receiving this distinction.
This recognition honors organizations that demonstrate outstanding leadership in integrity, ethics, compliance, and governance practices. According to Ethisphere, the evaluation is conducted through its proprietary Ethics Quotient® methodology, which assesses elements related to ethics and compliance programs, organizational culture, and corporate governance practices of participating companies.
At Grupo Bimbo, ethics are not just a principle, they are an essential part of the way we do business. This conviction is lived every day through a strong organizational culture, grounded in our philosophy and our Golden Rule: to treat all people with respect, fairness, trust, and care. This approach, championed by the company’s founders since its origins, guides our relationships with employees, customers, suppliers, investors, and the communities where we operate.
This understanding of ethics is closely tied to our purpose of Nourishing a Better World. For the company, integrity is also reflected in the way decisions are made every day, with a deeply human and long-term vision aimed at generating well-being, transparency, and trust for families and all our stakeholders.
“Receiving this recognition for the tenth consecutive year reaffirms our commitment to continuing to strengthen a culture rooted in ethics, integrity, and transparency. At Grupo Bimbo, we understand that acting with integrity goes beyond compliance, it means doing and saying the right thing at all times, in alignment with our values, our culture, and the public commitments we have made globally,” said Ignacio Stepancic, Global Compliance Leader at Grupo Bimbo.
The Ethisphere distinction recognizes companies that place ethics at the center of their decisions and operations and that help build trust-based relationships with their stakeholders. Having been recognized consecutively for a decade reflects a long-term vision that understands integrity as an indispensable element for generating sustainable value.
In the 2026 edition, Ethisphere recognized 138 companies from 17 countries and 40 industries, with Grupo Bimbo being the only Mexican company in the food sector to receive this recognition.
