For the second year in a row, Cambia has been named one of the "World’s Most Ethical Companies." In 2019, 128 honorees were recognized spanning 21 countries and 50 industries.
In our current climate, where the question of ethics and moral dilemmas often emerge, having a standard to refer to in the decision-making process can be invaluable. And more than ever, a company's success depends on both the talent they are able to attract and the values they follow. At Cambia, we are guided by our Cause to transform health care. Our commitment to employees and consumers is to never lose sight of doing what’s right for those we serve.
We asked several employees from across all Cambia locations, to share why working for an ethical company is important to them and what inspires their work for health care transformation. Check out some of their stories.

Why is working for an ethical company important to you?
After working for various organizations from academia to corporations, I have witnessed that the most successful organizations are the ones who focus on the importance of ethics in every avenue in which they conduct themselves. It is a foundational pillar that helps navigate the organization’s culture and cause.

The culture of ethics is where you always do the right thing in every situation. This can be on an individual level or making decisions on how to move forward in business. It is a part of your persona and acts as a guiding light on the way you carry yourself. Cambia has personified it in how we conduct business and by always focusing on doing what is right by our consumers.

Kristin Todd, LifeMap Account Executive
Why is working for an ethical company important to you?
There is nothing more important than the pursuit of ethical behavior. We exist to help each other and do right by each other. Without that, what do we have? It is important for me to be a part of a company where the question that is always asked is “Is it the right thing to do?” If a company asks themselves that question, and I mean really grapples with that question, at every decision, every cross road, and they fight for the answer to that question to always be “yes,” then that is the company I want to invest in and to represent in the market.
What does it mean to have a culture of ethics, and how do you see that at Cambia?
A culture of ethics looks like a group of people who want to get up every day and do more than show up. It is a group of people who fight to make a difference. I believe Cambia not only supports this culture but also demands it of their employees and of themselves.
What would you tell others who are thinking of working at Cambia?
I hope that they would see and feel it for themselves and learn more about our member stories. We come to work and challenge the world we live in to be just a little bit better. We work on every level to execute the change we want to see.
