Each year, up to four companies – based on the number of employees – are eligible to be honored with a Torch Award.

            The Torch Awards for Marketplace Ethics & Integrity were introduced in 1997 by the Better Business Bureau of Greater Maryland to give public recognition to Maryland companies that have maintained a solid commitment to conducting their business in an ethical fashion.  The Awards are designed to:

  • Recognize a business for its commitment to maintain a culture which consistently sets exceptionally high standards of behavior in buyer and seller relationships; 
  •  Illuminate the importance of corporate conscience and responsibility in fulfilling a company’s obligation to the marketplace to do what is right and fair; and, 
  • Demonstrate to the business community that adhering to Better Business Bureau ethical standards is the hallmark of successful, competitive companies.
