BBB Torch Awards for Ethics | BBB Serving Northern Colorado and Wyoming

The BBB Torch Awards for Ethics celebrate businesses and nonprofits that demonstrate an exceptional commitment to ethics and integrity in all their business interactions. The program not only emphasizes the importance of building trust but also recognizes the efforts of outstanding organizations in contributing to an honorable marketplace. 

Award Criteria:

The BBB has distilled our deliberate focus on trust and ethics into four C's: Character, Culture, Customers, and Community. These criteria outline the leadership's character, the fostering of an authentic culture, the organization's prioritization of customer relationships, and the impact made in the community.

27th Annual BBB Celebration of Ethics:

Mark your calendars for the highly anticipated 27th Annual BBB Celebration of Ethics on April 22, 2025, at the Embassy Suites in Loveland. If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities, please reach out to Jami Jonckowski-Wiens at jami@wynco.bbb.org or 970-488-2048.
