TSYS TSS continues to receive global recognition in 2018, as TSYS was today named by the Ethisphere Institute as one of the 2018 World's Most Ethical Companies in the payment services category and also recently recognized by Thomson Reuters as one of the Top 100 Global Technology Leaders. TSYS is the only payments provider in the industry to be recognized by both of these prestigious organizations this year.

The Ethisphere Institute is a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices and today named TSYS as one of its 2018 World's Most Ethical Companies for the sixth time in the past seven years. This year, 135 honorees were recognized, spanning 23 countries and 57 industries. The twelfth class of honorees have record levels of involvement with their stakeholders and their communities around the world. Measuring and improving culture, leading authentically and committing to transparency, diversity and inclusion were all priorities for honorees.

In its inaugural year, Thomson Reuters selected TSYS as a top 100 global tech company based on its commitment to leadership across eight pillars of performance, such as: Financial, Management and Investor Confidence, People and Social Responsibility and Reputation. The top 100 companies identified are the tech industry's most operationally sound and financially successful organizations, whose final scores across the pillars outshine more than 5,000 other technology companies around the world.

"These two prominent recognitions are a true testament to the dedication, hard-work and loyalty of our more than 11,800 team members around the globe," said M. Troy Woods, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, TSYS. "There are only a handful of recognizable brands named to both of these lists and for TSYS to be included, puts us in an exciting, unique position as we continue to make technological advances across our business, while serving our customers in an honest and transparent manner."
