WPS is committed to operating ethically and is overseen by a Board of Directors. The company looks at compliance through a lens that recognizes the importance of our suppliers and creates value in how risk is managed. On top of all that, it's also an outstanding place to work, as shown by the past awards we've won.

It is crucial for businesses to create value for their stakeholders in a responsible, sustainable manner—now and in the future. At WPS Health Solutions, corporate resiliency, flexibility, and adaptability are not just concepts, they are priorities. They help inform and shape how we operate, innovate, and manage risks. We seek to stay ahead of emerging trends and stakeholder expectations, anticipate and prepare for potential risks, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Matters such as data privacy, employment practices, facilities management, new technology adoption, and business continuity planning are addressed in a manner that reflects these priorities. This creates long-term value for the company’s stakeholders and aligns with widely accepted environmental, social, and governance principles.
