Ethisphere announces Fresnillo plc as one of the 2022 world's most ethical companies for the third time

Recognition honors companies demonstrating exceptional leadership and a commitment to

business integrity through best-in-class ethics, compliance, and governance practices

Fresnillo plc, the world's largest primary silver producer and Mexico's largest gold producer, has been recognised by Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices, as one of the 2022 World's Most Ethical Companies.

Fresnillo plc has been recognised since 2020 and is one of only three honorees in the Mining & Metals industry. In 2022, 136 honorees were recognised spanning 22 countries and 45 industries.

"Guided by our purpose, we continued to focus on the wellbeing of people while, at the same time, achieving a respectable operational performance and continuing to position the Company to meet the challenges of future years; operating with ethics and integrity is at the core of our purpose. Thanks to the hard work and integrity commitment of our people we are proud to be named again as one of the 2022 World's Most Ethical Companies" said Fresnillo plc's Chief Executive Officer, Octavio Alvídrez.

"Today, business leaders face their greatest mandate yet to be ethical, accountable, and trusted to drive positive change," said Ethisphere CEO, Timothy Erblich. "We continue to be inspired by the World's Most Ethical Companies honorees and their dedication to integrity, sustainability, governance, and community. Congratulations to Fresnillo plc for earning the World's Most Ethical Companies designation."

Ethics & Performance

Ethisphere's 2022 Ethics Index, the collection of publicly traded companies recognised as recipients of this year's World's Most Ethical Companies designation, outperformed a comparable index of large cap companies by 24.6 percentage points over the past five calendar years.

The outperformance, which Ethisphere refers to as the " Ethics Premium ," has remained consistent since Ethisphere began tracking the performance of honoree companies.

Methodology & Scoring

Grounded in Ethisphere's proprietary Ethics Quotient(R), the World's Most Ethical Companies assessment process includes more than 200 questions on culture, environmental and social practices, ethics and compliance activities, governance, diversity, and initiatives to support a strong value chain. The process serves as an operating framework to capture and codify the leading practices of organizations across industries and around the globe.
