Torch Awards for Ethics presented by Bridge City Law

Torch Awards for Ethics

The BBB Foundation Torch Awards for Ethics honors businesses committed to leadership character, workplace culture, customer relationships, and community support. 

About the BBB Torch Awards

Trust isn’t just good business—it’s your greatest advantage.

The Torch Awards recognize companies that lead with integrity, put people first, and prove that ethics and success go hand in hand. When you’re known as a trusted business, you stand out in ways that matter most: earning customer loyalty, attracting the right talent, and strengthening your reputation in your community.

Winning, or even being named a finalist, signals to your customers, peers, and community that you don’t just talk about doing the right thing - you live it every day.

If your business has worked hard to build trust, take care of your team, and serve your customers and community with honesty and transparency, you deserve to be recognized for it.

The Torch Awards is your opportunity to:

  • Show your community you’re committed to the highest ethical standards and giving back in meaningful ways

  • Build confidence with customers who value integrity

  • Celebrate your team’s dedication and hard work

  • Attract new customers, partners, and employees who share your values

If trust is at the heart of what you do, we’d love to hear your story.

 A 2024 Torch Awards winner said: 

“Winning the BBB Torch Award—not once, but twice—is an incredible honor for me and the entire team at Lifetime Home Remodeling. This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to integrity, transparency, and doing right by our community and customers—every single time. We’re proud of the values our business is built on, and this award inspires us to continue raising the bar. It’s a privilege to be trusted partners in the homes and lives of our clients.” 

- CoCo Criste, Lifetime Home Remodeling (2024 Torch Awards winner)
