BBB Torch Award nominees selected

Eleven businesses and three nonprofits from Northern Colorado and Wyoming have been named candidates for the 2020 Better Business Bureau Torch Awards for Ethics presented locally by the BBB Serving Northern Colorado and Wyoming Foundation.

Organizations were nominated by peers, colleagues and customers during the spring and summer of 2019. Interested nominees then completed a candidate questionnaire to gather background information on the business and its commitment to ethics. Nominees that submitted questionnaires were then vetted by the BBB staff to determine eligibility for the Torch Award for Ethics.

Eligible organizations were then reviewed by an independent selection committee that selected this year’s class of Torch Award for Ethics candidates. Selected organizations were then offered the opportunity to work with students from Colorado State University, the University of Northern Colorado and the University of Wyoming to prepare the award application based on BBB’s TRUST! Principles:
