MODE Global, a leading multimodal third-party transportation and logistics provider, has announced it has been named the small business winner of the Ethics and Compliance category in the Americas in the 2024 NAVEX Excellence Awards. This is the second consecutive year that MODE Global has received the award.

The NAVEX Excellence Awards celebrate exceptional program achievements among NAVEX's global clients. Winners were selected by a distinguished panel of judges comprised of industry leaders and NAVEX executives.

In accepting the award, Sharon Johnson, chief legal and compliance officer, noted, "MODE is ecstatic to be honored by NAVEX for the second time. Receiving the award for Excellence in Compliance and Ethics Programs is truly an honor. Our team has set out to build a culture of integrity and accountability, ensuring that our practices not only meet but exceed industry standards. I am deeply grateful for this acknowledgment, and I look forward to continuing our mission of fostering 'Ethics in Every Mile' and excellence in everything we do."

MODE's award-winning program was noted for its innovative engagement initiatives such as "Camp Compliance" and the "Scary Scavenger Hunt," which gamified the learning experience and reinforced the value of a proactive speak-up culture. The program's approach went beyond mere education—it motivated employees to become active participants in a culture of integrity through its use of innovative strategies, interactive learning and a focus on engagement. This comprehensive strategy led to measurable enhancements in compliance awareness, as reflected in both the data and the positive feedback from employees.

"We are thrilled to honor this year's NAVEX Excellence Award winners," said Steve Chapman, chief customer officer at NAVEX. "These organizations have demonstrated outstanding innovation and effectiveness in their GRC programs. Their achievements serve as benchmarks for the industry and highlight the critical role that robust compliance and risk management play in today's business landscape."
