A Celebration of Trust At BBB, we believe in the power of trust, and our mission is to advance trust in business. We believe that businesses who embrace trust as a core value in their organization will see that it leads to growth in employees, customers, community and their bottom line. Through its core pillars of Accreditation, Education and Celebration, BBB helps organizations reflect, thrive and celebrate their achievements. By interacting with businesses and nonprofits in our community, BBB has the opportunity to provide resources and convey the importance of building a foundation of trust, treating employees and customers the right way, and contributing to the greater community. This helps BBB fulfill its goal of building better businesses. BBB’s Center for Character Ethics recognition programs shine a light on outstanding local business and nonprofit leaders, and also on students (future leaders) who have placed an intentional focus on integrity and excellence. The Torch Award, Spark Award and Students of Integrity programs honor trusted businesses, nonprofits and

A highlight for BBB is having the opportunity to celebrate role models within our community—no matter where they are on their journey: a future leader, a startup or an established business—we applaud those that embody the BBB standards of trust and are an example for others to follow. In our centennial year, BBB is excited to continue to fulfill our mission of advancing trust in our community through evaluating, educating and celebrating all those who have intentional best practices in place. We applaud the efforts of all who are recognized and are excited to celebrate their commitment to trust with all of you!

First Class Mobile Detailing Service BBB serving Central Ohio created the Torch Awards for Ethics as an annual awards program to publicly recognize local organizations that have best practices in place to elevate their commitment to being an ethical business. Since 1994, the Torch Awards program has been the premier recognition event for BBB serving Central Ohio. As a way to celebrate outstanding local businesses and nonprofits who are going above and beyond to advance trust in our community, the Torch Awards highlights the intentional best practices of the winners as they relate to the four C’s—Character, Culture, Customers and Community. Chosen by an independent panel of judges, the winners have traditionally been honored at a luncheon event attended by BBB staff, community leaders, Torch Award winners, Spark Awards and Students of Integrity recipients, board members, community partners and representatives from our Accredited Businesses. After shifting to a broadcast event in 2020, BBB is continuing this format of showcasing our finalists and winners this year. We ask that you join us in recognizing the Torch Award, Spark Award and Students of Integrity winners as we celebrate them during a televised broadcast on NBC4 on Wednesday, Nov. 17 at 12:30 p.m.
