The BBB is proud to announce this year’s Torch Awards for Ethics Winners! The Torch Awards for Ethics competition was created to honor companies that demonstrate their commitment to trust and market ethics.

BBB also recognizes and commends the finalists.

There were two Category 1 finalists: Adom Manor Care Home and Armed Force Pest Control, Inc. and three Category 2 finalists: Arrow Ai, Pacific Bay Estates and SFO Representatives, Inc.
“Torch Awards winners demonstrate the highest ethical standards of trust to customers, employees and the communities in which they do business,” said Lori Wilson, BBB President and CEO for the San Francisco Bay Area and California North Shore. “We are proud to present this prestigious award to these deserving companies.”
Each company went through an application process to demonstrate its commitment to ethics and leadership in the community. All applicants were are encouraged to find examples of their organization’s practices that best illustrate each of the four criteria being assessed: company, character, culture, and community service.
They were judged by an independent jury made up of community leaders and entrepreneurs from various industries.
The winners of the 2023 Torch Awards are now qualified to compete in the 2023 International Torch Awards for Ethics.
