What it means to be one of the World's Most Ethical Companies® 2026

#FerrerForGood

Being one of the World's Most Ethical Companies® is not something that happens by chance. In 2026, only 138 organizations worldwide, from 17 countries and 40 sectors, have achieved this recognition. And among them, Ferrer is the only Spanish pharmaceutical company.

 

But the interesting thing is not the data. That's what's behind it.

 

This recognition, given by Ethisphere, doesn't just measure policies or processes. It assesses something much more difficult to prove: whether ethics are actually embedded in an organization's way of working. In how they make decisions. In how he behaves when no one is looking. In how he responds to day-to-day dilemmas.

 

At Ferrer, this is not new. In 2024, the company obtained the Compliance Leader Verification™, passing a rigorous international evaluation process. And in 2025, the workforce itself confirmed this perception with a high assessment of the internal ethical culture, placing it above the average of other companies analysed.

 

Therefore, this recognition is not a point of arrival. It is a consequence.

 

It reinforces a way of doing things that goes beyond compliance: acting with integrity, coherence and responsibility, understanding that the business is also a tool to generate positive impact.

 

In Ferrer, ethics is not declared. It is practiced. Every day.
