One Vermont company was deemed among the “most ethical” in the United States by the financial media company MarketBeat.
MarketBeat said it surveyed more than 3,000 people from different demographics last month to determine which companies they feel best align with their personal ethics and values. The results were then adjusted to reflect national population benchmarks.
The survey found that people value businesses that remain close to their founding towns, prioritize employee ownership and focus on sustainability.
The financial media company pulled together a list of 118 businesses considered to be the “most ethical” across the nation.
See how the Vermont company ranks and how it stacks up against other New England businesses.
