About the BBB Wisconsin Ethics Awards

The BBB Torch Awards for Ethics honors businesses and non-profit organizations of all sizes that meet the highest standard of ethics and trust among their employees, customers and local communities, embodying BBB's mission to advance marketplace trust.

The BBB Spark Awards honor eligible social entrepreneurs, startup founders and new business owners that embody and cultivate the Three C's of Trust: Character, Culture and Community. These entrepreneurs are the future of a trusted marketplace in Wisconsin.

BBB awards scholarships to Wisconsin high school students who have demonstrated character, leadership, and ethical values. As the scholarship recipients pursue their careers, BBB hopes to develop future business leaders who will promote ethics in the Wisconsin marketplace.

All of our Foundation programs and services are made possible thanks to the support of our generous donors, many of whom are ethical Wisconsin businesses.
