Ethisphere Names Henry Schein as One of the 2026 World's Most Ethical Companies® for 15th Consecutive Year

“To be honored for our ethical practices reflects the values that have guided Henry Schein for decades,” said Fred M. Lowery, Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein. “There is a strong culture of integrity and purpose that defines Team Schein, and together we will continue to build on this legacy as we support healthcare professionals and the communities they serve.”

Henry Schein Cares, the Company’s global corporate citizenship program, celebrates 25 years of improving access to care, strengthening communities, and helping create a healthier world. The Company remains committed to “doing well by doing good” and creating shared value for the key stakeholders that make up Henry Schein’s Mosaic of Success – Team Schein Members (TSMs), Customers, Suppliers, Shareholders, and Society at Large.

Examples of the Company’s 2025 corporate citizenship efforts include:

• Enhancing the Company’s Third-Party Risk Management program by issuing Global Principles & Policy on Third Party Intermediaries (TPIs);
• Producing Moral of the Story, a podcast released during Ethics Awareness Month that highlights real experiences of choosing integrity, even when it’s difficult;
• Distributing “Leading with Integrity: A Toolkit for Ethical Leadership” to all people managers;
• Introducing an interactive microsite of the Company’s Worldwide Business Standards for TSMs with more case studies, FAQs, videos, and resources;
• Supporting hundreds of global charity partners with nearly $18 million in cash and product to help health happen;
• Offering a variety of volunteer opportunities to drive purpose and engage in local communities in which TSMs live and work, while also creating an inclusive environment where TSMs feel a sense of belonging;
• Strengthening the Company’s strategic partnerships with industry associations, customers, and suppliers that support access to quality healthcare through various key programs and initiatives (e.g., S.M.I.L.E. Healthcare Pathway Program, Gives Kids A Smile, Cares Package Program, Global Student Outreach Program, and Prepare to Care);
• Developing the Stan’s Service Award to honor Stanley M. Bergman's 35-year legacy as the Company's CEO, recognizing TSMs who embody the philosophy of “doing well by doing good” through cash grants to non-profit organizations where they volunteer globally.

Methodology & Scoring

The World’s Most Ethical Companies assessment is grounded in Ethisphere’s proprietary Ethics Quotient®, which requires companies to provide 240+ documented proof points on practices that support robust ethics and compliance, including: corporate governance; program structure & resourcing; written standards; training, awareness, & communication; risk assessment & auditing; investigations, enforcement, discipline & incentives; measurement of ethical culture; third-party risk management, and environmental & social impact.

That data undergoes further qualitative analysis by our panel of experts who spend thousands of hours vetting and evaluating each year’s group of applicants.

This process serves as an operating framework to capture and codify best-in-class ethics and compliance practices from organizations across industries and from around the world.
