“In the 1st Century B.C., Publilius Syrus posed a powerful question in his Maxims, ‘What is left when honor is lost?’ This universal quest for ethics has its roots in the ancient world and its echo permeates the 21st Century boardroom; a reminder that accountability is imperative in action and deed.”

“At Bank of America, our reputation is the company's most important asset. Every associate plays a role in building and preserving that reputation, and all associates are responsible for understanding and living the values and ethical standards that underpin our culture.
Bank of America's Code of Ethics puts into writing our commitment to driving
a culture of compliance with laws and regulations, as well as our own company's policies in pursuit of the highest ethical standards for our customers, associates and shareholders. Annually each associate is required to go through training and acknowledge our Corporate Code of Ethics.
That is why we feel that The Rochester Business Ethics Awards and Bank of America is a natural partnership, and we are proud to be a Platinum Sponsor of this year's awards. ”
Joe Rulison,
