Ethics and Corporate Governance

Jones Lang LaSalle stands for uncompromising integrity and the highest ethical conduct. In a service business, the integrity that our brand represents is one of our most valuable assets, which we are committed to protect. We adhere to a range of policies that everyone who does business on our behalf must understand and always follow.

We are committed to a corporate culture that embraces and promotes strong principles of business and professional ethics at every level. Ethical practices are inherent in our values, mission and strategy, and must guide all of our interactions with clients, customers, vendors and employees. Our Board of Directors and senior management take these responsibilities seriously, both for themselves and the rest of the organization.

Ethics Inside™ Certification

In 2010, Jones Lang LaSalle received a renewal of its Ethics Inside™ Certification from the Ethisphere Institute. The Ethisphere Institute is a think tank dedicated to the research and promotion of profitable best practices in global governance, business ethics, compliance and corporate responsibility.

The Ethics Inside™ certification is the only independent verification of a company’s ethics. The annual certification is granted exclusively to organizations that can prove the existence of a superior employee and leadership culture that promotes ethical business practices.

One of the “World’s Most Ethical Companies”

The Ethisphere Institute has named Jones Lang LaSalle to its 2010 World’s Most Ethical Companies list. This is the third year in a row we have received this important distinction. Researchers and analysts from the Institute reviewed more than 10,000 companies on six continents and completed a rigorous, multi-step evaluation process to determine the finalists on the list. Their analysis included reviewing codes of ethics; litigation and regulatory infraction histories; investments in innovation and sustainable business practices, and corporate citizenship. The list recognizes 99 companies from around the world in 35 different industries. Jones Lang LaSalle was named to the list for the second year in a row and was the only company from the real estate industry to be included.
