MADISON, Wis.—March 7, 2016—WPS Health Solutions has been recognized by the Ethisphere^®

Institute as a 2016 World’s Most Ethical Company^®. This is the seventh time that WPS has been honored with the award.

Wisconsin Physicians Service Insurance Corporation (WPS Health Solutions) is one of two companies in the accident and health insurance category chosen for the award in 2016. There are 130 companies being recognized this year.

“We at WPS take pride in having an effective compliance program, a culture of ethics, and a commitment to good corporate citizenship, effective leadership and solid governance,” said WPS Vice President of Internal Audit, Compliance and Risk Jane Keller-Allen. “The Ethisphere award validates our efforts and inspires us to continue to always do the right thing,” she said.

“Companies rely on Ethisphere to continually raise and measure the standards of corporate behavior,” said Ethisphere Chief Executive Officer Timothy

Erblich. “Those that demonstrate leadership in areas like citizenship, integrity and transparency create more value for their investors, communities, customers and employees, thus solidifying a sustainable business advantage.”

The World’s Most Ethical Company assessment is based upon the Ethisphere Institute’s Ethics Quotient™ (EQ) framework developed over years of research and vetted and refined by the expert advice from its Methodology Advisory Panel. The EQ 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. 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%).
