Congratulations to Associated Bank!

HDI member company Associated Bank has been recognized by Forbes as one of the 100 Most Trustworthy Companies in America!

Thanks to all the corporate controversies, CEO scandals, bailouts, and bankruptcies in recent years, investors have lost trust in some of the country’s largest public companies. However, even today, many corporations are models of openness and integrity.

To identify the most transparent and trustworthy businesses that trade on American exchanges, Forbes turned to GMI Ratings, a pioneer in the application of non-traditional risk measures for financial analysis.Associated Bank, Green Bay, Wisconsin (WI)

“In order to rank companies from the most to the least trustworthy, we look at over 60 different governance and forensic accounting measures,” says GMI vice chair and chief executive James A. Kaplan.  “Those companies that persistently display the most accounting transparency; have the lowest incidence of high-risk events; and have appropriate Board supervision are typically ranked the highest. Companies on this list reflect these practices.

See the full article on Forbes’s website.  Also according to Forbes, Associated Bank is one of the 2,000 largest companies in the world.

Titletown HDI is honored to have two of Associated Bank’s valued employees bringing that same integrity to the Officer Board of our chapter.  Do you know who?  Meet our officers!
