Institute Recognized for Thought Leadership in Business Ethics and Trustworthy Business
 The Institute's academic director R. Edward Freeman, executive director Dean Krehmeyer, and director Brian Moriarty were recognized as being among the "Top 100 Thought Leaders in Trustworthy Business Behavior" by Trust Across America for 2012. All three also appeared in Trust Across America's first listing of thought leaders in 2010.
After an initial cut of nominees, selections were made by a panel of six judges, four from the United States and two from Canada. The judges hail from academia, corporate and consulting, and from specialties including corporate governance, ethics, trust, integrity, sustainability and CSR.
 The list not only includes well known figures—such as Indra Nooyi, Tom Peters, Warren Bennis, Ram Charan, Howard Schultz, Stephen M.R. Covey, Thomas Friedman, Bill George,
and Nitin Nohria—but also, others who are "quietly working behind the scenes."
Krehmeyer was also selected for Ethisphere Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in Business Ethics for 2011, which reflects individuals who had significant impact in the realm of business ethics over the course of the last year.

The article focuses on the leadership of Dr. John W. Rowe who became CEO of Aetna when the firm was losing $1 million a day. Dr. Rowe and his team led a remarkable recovery, not only returning the company to profitability, but restoring pride and trust among key stakeholders.
