Executive Summary of White Paper Recently Published
by Trust Across America-Trust Around the World
Building a trustworthy company will improve both its profitability and organizational sustainability. Supporting this statement is a growing body of evidence showing an increasing correlation between trustworthiness and superior financial performance. Our 2016 report attempts to provide content and context to place trust in the center of more business conversations, to answer the following questions and dispel the myth that integrity and trust are “soft” skills.
- Why do trust and integrity matter?
- Can they be measured?
- Are they profitable?
- Which sectors are the most trustworthy?
- Is industry destiny?
- What are the costs of low trust and integrity and why do they matter as hard currencies?
- Which companies are some of the most trustworthy and why?
- How can companies become more trustworthy?
Integrity and trust should start at the top and flow down through the organization. They are not CSR, compliance, HR or leadership “programs” but rather an intentional holistic business strategy adopted by leadership and practiced daily. Vanishing are the days of low transparency, “short termism” and maximization of shareholder value at the expense of other stakeholders.
As trust breaches continue to make the headlines across many major institutions and societies around the globe, organizations that choose integrity and trust as intentional strategies will continue to outperform their peers.
