TORCH AWARDS

BBB ’ s mission is to create an ethical marketplace where buyers and sellers can trust each other . One of the ways this is accomplished is by recognizing marketplace role models . In this spirit , BBB Education Foundation publicly recognizes businesses committed to ethical marketplace practices with the annual BBB Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics . Since 2014 , these awards have celebrated the importance of ethical business practices , and the outstanding businesses that demonstrate a solid commitment to marketplace trust . The Torch Awards are open to all for-profit businesses headquartered within the 105 counties covered by BBB serving the Heart of Texas . Applicants must be in business for a minimum of three years and maintain a rating of B or higher with BBB ( accreditation with BBB is not a requirement ). In 2020 we celebrated 11 winners :
