Better Business Bureau (BBB) serving the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern Coastal California is proud to announce the winners of the annual regional competition including Flow Pro Plumbing.
The BBB is proud to announce this year’s Torch Awards for Ethics Winners! The Torch Awards for Ethics competition was created to honor businesses that demonstrate their commitment to trust and marketplace ethics, and the award embodies BBB’s mission to be the leader in advancing marketplace trust. The Torch Awards are presented to businesses that strive to go above and beyond in their dealings with customers, employees, vendors and the community.
For-profit, 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(6) non-profit organizations of all sizes headquartered in the 13-county service area of BBB serving the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern Coastal California were invited to apply. BBB received entries from across the area and from various industries.
We are proud to announce the winners of the regional 2023 Torch Awards for Ethics. They include:
- Winner in Category 1 (1-10 Employees): Flow Pro Plumbing of Brentwood
- Winner in Category 2 (11-49 Employees): Done Right Security, Inc.
- Winner in Category 4 (100-499 Employees): Ambrose Solar
BBB is also recognizing and commending the finalists. Though their entries were not selected for an award, finalists are still recognized for demonstrating strong ethical business practices and being leaders in the community. There were two finalists in Category 1: Adom Manor Care Home and Armed Force Pest Control, Inc., and three finalists in Category 2: Arrow Ai, Pacific Bay Estates, and SFO Representatives, Inc.
“Torch Awards winners demonstrate the highest ethical standards of trust toward customers, employees and the communities in which they do business,” said Lori Wilson, President and CEO of BBB serving the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern Coastal California. “We are proud to present this prestigious award to these deserving businesses.”
Each business went through an application process to illustrate its commitment to ethics and community leadership. All applicants were encouraged to find examples of their organization’s practices that best exemplify each of the four criteria to be judged on: company, character, culture, and community services.
They were judged by an independent panel of judges consisting of community leaders and business owners in various industries.
Winners of the 2023 Torch Awards are now qualified to enter the 2023 International Torch Awards for Ethics. Presented annually since 1996, the International Torch Awards for Ethics honors companies who demonstrate best practices in leadership character and high standards of organizational ethics that benefits their customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and communities. To enter the International Torch Award for Ethics, a business must first be a winner of their local BBB award program.
Thank you to all the businesses that applied to this year’s competition, and congratulations to the winners and finalists!
