CINCINNATI, October 29, 2009 — Jones Lang LaSalle has been recognized for its commitment to marketplace ethics by winning a Torch Award from The Cincinnati Better Business Bureau.  The award acknowledges business and non-profit organizations that fully commit to ethical practices in all aspects of their business. Jones Lang LaSalle won in the 100+ employee category.

 

“The award is testament to the stringent ethical business practices that we employ at Jones Lang LaSalle,” said Josh Gerth, Vice President, Jones Lang LaSalle in Cincinnati.  “As a firm we stand for uncompromising integrity and clients hire us not only for our expertise but because they trust us. The confidence that clients and prospects place in us is one of our greatest assets in our existing and new client relationships.  We are very proud to have been honored with this accolade in Cincinnati.”

 

Jones Lang LaSalle was awarded earlier this year with Ethics Inside 2009 Certification from the Ethisphere Institute, a think-tank dedicated to the research and promotion of profitable best practices in global governance, business ethics, compliance and corporate responsibility. The firm was named among the leaders in corporate ethics for having a superior employee and leadership culture that promotes ethical business practices.

 

The firm was also named to The Ethisphere Institute’s World’s Most Ethical Companies list for 2009.  The list recognizes 99 companies from around the world in 35 different industries for their commitment to ethical business practices.  Jones Lang LaSalle has been named to the list for the second year running and is the only firm from the real estate industry to be included.

 

 

The Cincinnati BBB was founded in 1926 when the economy was roaring. Consumers needed to be able to rely and trust the companies they dealt with on a daily basis. The BBB’s founding members recognized that need and formed an organization that would set standards, lead the way, and promote a better, respectable and more ethical marketplace. The Torch Awards are a continuation of the BBB’s 83-year tradition and commitment to furthering that mission.
