BBB Integrity Foundation’s Torch Awards

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) Torch Awards for Ethics, established in 1998, honors businesses and nonprofit organizations that demonstrate exceptional commitment to ethical practices in their operations, leadership, and customer relationships. The awards recognize organizations that build trust in the marketplace through integrity, character, and ethical decision-making. The Torch Awards serve as both a celebration and a standard for businesses across Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky, encouraging companies to raise the bar for trust and ethical business conduct. Businesses do not need to be nominated to apply, and BBB accreditation is not required. The nomination deadline is February 15, 2025, and the application deadline is March 21, 2025. Winners receive public recognition, credibility, and community trust, reinforcing their reputation as ethical leaders in the marketplace.
