CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Intelligent power management company Eaton (NYSE:ETN) has again received the 2025 World’s Most Ethical Companies® recognition by Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices.

Grounded in Ethisphere’s proprietary Ethics Quotient®, the annual assessment requires companies to provide 240+ proof points on practices supporting ethics and compliance, governance, culture, environmental and social impact and initiatives supporting a strong value chain. The data undergoes further qualitative analysis by Ethisphere’s panel of experts who spend thousands of hours vetting and evaluating each applicant. In 2025, 136 honorees were recognized across 19 countries and 44 industries. Eaton was among 12 honorees in the industrial manufacturing industry.
