Inside Southwire’s Journey of Excellence

Southwire is a leading manufacturer of wire and cable used in the transmission and distribution of electricity to millions of people around the world. Based in Carrolton, GA, and family owned since 1950, Southwire’s mission is to prevail in the fiercely competitive wire and cable industry through a commitment to quality and performance, unequaled customer satisfaction, and perhaps most importantly, ethical and fair dealing. And to underscore just how seriously the company takes that last part, earlier this year, Southwire earned its first World’s Most Ethical Companies recognition. Spencer Preis, VP, Associate General Counsel and Deputy Chief, Ethics & Compliance Officer, and Shaun Miller, Director of Ethics and Compliance, explain how Southwire sought this recognition, and what they learned along the way.
