“Kohl’s has a long-standing focus on ESG stewardship. Responsible corporate citizenship and ethical business practices have always been an important part of our company’s values and guides how we interact with our customers, associates and communities,” said Steve Thomas, Kohl’s chief risk and compliance officer. “Kohl’s is honored to be recognized for the fourth consecutive year as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies, which showcases our value-based culture with ethics and integrity at the forefront.
