Better Business Bureau® Cincinnati BBB Torch Awards for Ethics℠

At the heart of a trustworthy marketplace are leaders creating and running businesses and charities that will transform and enhance the communities they serve. BBB wants to recognize the organizations that are doing things right, creating a community of ethical excellence, and inspiring others to follow their lead. 

That’s why the Torch Awards for Ethics honors businesses of all sizes that demonstrate character, culture, customers, and community. The Torch Awards is BBB Cincinnati's premier ethics-centered program — the most prestigious honor BBB can give.
