Organizations of all sizes and scopes across the natural state apply for the Torch Awards for Ethics each year! A Torch Award is the most prestigious honor presented to local organizations for their dedication to integrity and ethical business practices. Businesses submit applications to an independent panel of judges highlighting how they implement the four C's of ethical business practices - character, culture, community and customers. Awards are granted in four categories based on the organization's size.
