Ethics certification for adhesives brand

20/12/2011
Specialty textile, lamination and footwear adhesives supplier HB Fuller has earned Ethics Inside certification from the Ethisphere Institute, an international think-tank dedicated to the research and promotion of best practice in corporate ethics and compliance.

HB Fuller said the certification was recognition for its “strong culture of promoting responsible, sustainable business practices and stature as an ethical supplier”.

Ethisphere conducted a comprehensive review of the adhesive brand’s ethics, citizenship, corporate responsibility, and governance programmes and practices. HB Fuller demonstrated that it has established systems to detect and prevent ethical and compliance violations, to ensure good governance and to promote corporate responsibility.

“I am very pleased to receive this third-party recognition of our business principles and practices,” said Jim Owens, the company’s chief executive on announcing the development. “
We expect all of our employees to act with integrity and do the right thing at all times, and being awarded Ethics Inside Certification demonstrates HB Fuller’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards for ethics, citizenship, corporate responsibility, and governance.”
