The Ethisphere Institute recognizes U.S. Bank for the ninth consecutive year

For the ninth consecutive year, U.S. Bank has been named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by the Ethisphere Institute, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices.

“This award reflects our employees and their efforts to earn our customers’ trust,” said Andy Cecere, U.S. Bank chairman, president and chief executive officer. “They work hard to do what’s best for our customers and communities and this honor recognizes their commitment to doing the right thing.”

Ethisphere recognized 135 honorees that span 19 countries and more than 35 industries. U.S. Bank is one of four honorees in the banking category and the largest of the two U.S.-based banks recognized by Ethisphere.
