Two Dutch firms feature on a new list of the ‘world’s most ethical companies’ drawn up by US think-tank Ethisphere Institute: Rabobank and Philips.

This year’s list is made up of a record 145 organisations that show leadership in promoting ethical business standards, the institute said.
Rabobank is one of five banks which merit a mention while Philips is recognised in the medical devices section.
The American-Dutch stock exchange group NYSE Euronext is also listed.
The ranking was published last week.
