BBB Now Accepting Nominations for 2019 Torch Awards

Better Business Bureau Serving Wisconsin (BBB) is now accepting nominations and online applications through March 1, 2019 for both the Wisconsin Torch Awards for Ethics and Spark Awards for Entrepreneurship.

BBB urges everyone to nominate a deserving Wisconsin business who demonstrates strong, ethical business practices. Businesses and non-profits of any size throughout Wisconsin are eligible to be nominated and apply.

The annual Torch Awards for Ethics were created to honor ethical Wisconsin companies and nonprofits who demonstrate high ethical standards and exemplify excellence in business practices. These organizations build trust among their employees, customers and their communities by advertising honestly, remaining transparent and honoring their promises.

2018 Wisconsin Torch Award recipients include Kerzner Remodeling & Construction, Badger Basement Systems, Health Payment Systems, Partnership Bank, Tundraland Home Improvements, West Bend Mutual Insurance Company, and ECE.

In its third year, the Spark Awards for Entrepreneurship recognize young Wisconsin entrepreneurial leaders who demonstrate a high level of character and connect with their communities. Business owners who are under the age of 35 before March 1, 2019 are eligible to apply.

2018 Spark Award recipients include Crystal Vista Window Cleaning, K&G Contractors and Weddings with a Twist.

Recipients of the 2019 Torch and Spark Awards will be recognized at the annual Torch Awards for Ethics luncheon on May 15, 2019 at the Italian Community Center in Milwaukee.

Anyone can nominate a business or a non-profit for a Torch or Spark Award. To nominate, apply, or to find more information, visit torchawards.com or contact Amy Kutka at foundation@wisconsin.bbb.org or 414-847-6068.
