Aflac, the leading provider of voluntary insurance in the United States and a 2013 FORTUNE Blue Ribbon Company, has been named to the Ethisphere Institute's 2014 list of World's Most Ethical Companies. It is the eighth consecutive year that Aflac has been included on this list. Aflac is the only insurance company to have appeared on Ethisphere's World's Most Ethical Companies list every year since the inception of the award in 2007.

"Appearing on Ethisphere's World's Most Ethical Company list for the 8th consecutive year validates our belief that ethical practices are essential to business success," Aflac Chairman and CEO Dan Amossaid. "The foundation of our relationship with customers is trust; trust that we will pay claims quickly during times of need. This honor reinforces the faith that customers and shareholders place in our commitment to serve them with integrity."

"Aflac has been listed as a World's Most Ethical Company for eight years running which demonstrates their commitment to doing business ethically and with integrity," said the Ethisphere Institute's Chief Executive Officer, Timothy Erblich. "Their leadership team clearly understands the correlation between trust and better business practices which is why we are excited to recognize them for, among other things, displaying clear leadership in reputation, innovation and operating a robust ethics and compliance program with excellent tone from the top. We congratulate everyone at Aflac for this extraordinary achievement."
