Ethisphere’s Compliance Leader Verification recognizes organizations with an outstanding commitment to achieving a best-in-class ethics and compliance program.

Phoenix, AZ – October 8, 2024 – Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices, announced today that Labcorp earned the coveted Compliance Leader Verification from August 2024 through December 2025.

Labcorp, a global leader of innovative and comprehensive laboratory services, helps doctors, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, researchers and patients make clear and confident decisions through its unparalleled diagnostics and drug development laboratory capabilities.

“Congratulations to the Labcorp team for achieving Compliance Leader Verification recognition,” said Eric Jorgenson, Director, Data & Services for Ethisphere. “The review team was impressed by Labcorp’s commitment to a speak-up ethical culture with policies and processes in place for employees to report issues and have concerns addressed. This is just one aspect of a very robust program founded in the company’s values.”

“Ethics and integrity are at the heart of everything we do and integral to our mission to improve health and improve lives,” said Tracy Strong, Chief Compliance and Privacy Officer for Labcorp. “We are honored to receive this recognition as it’s a testament to Labcorp’s commitment to uncompromising integrity in how we relate to each other, our patients, our clients and the communities we serve.”

The Compliance Leader Verification process involves a rigorous review of an ethics and compliance program and corporate culture. It includes completing the Ethics Quotient® (EQ), a questionnaire covering the elements of an effective program; benchmarking program practices against the World’s Most Ethical Companies®; and extensive document review and interviews with executives and stakeholders.  Labcorp also chose to conduct an Ethical Culture survey to assess employee perceptions across eight pillars of an ethical culture.

Labcorp’s performance was evaluated on six key areas: program resources and structure; perceptions of ethical culture; written standards; training and communication; risk assessment, monitoring and auditing; and enforcement, discipline, and incentives.
