our deep commitment to operating with integrity and fulfilling our

value of integrity at the heart of their business. Congratulations to
everyone at Hasbro for being, once again, among the World’s Most Ethical
Companies.”

Methodology & Scoring

The World’s Most Ethical Company assessment is based upon the Ethisphere
Institute’s Ethics
Quotient^® (EQ) framework which offers a quantitative way
to assess a company’s performance in an objective, consistent and
standardized way. The information collected provides a comprehensive
sampling of definitive criteria of core competencies, rather than all
aspects of corporate governance, risk, sustainability, compliance and
ethics.

Scores are generated in five key categories: ethics and compliance
program (35%), corporate citizenship and responsibility (20%), culture
of ethics (20%), governance (15%) and leadership, innovation and
reputation (10%) and provided to all companies who participate in the
process.
