Business Ethics Award Benefits
The annual Business Ethics Awards honors small, mid and large sized companies with its business lifetime achievement award that measures success — not based on profits — but on the bond of trust built with customers,
employees and other businesses.
Once nominated, the company is asked to prepare an application for submission with a mentor to help guide the process.
The process provides an ethical barometer for companies to reflect, evaluate, and improve ethical performance with employees and business partners. And the entire experience offers an opportunity to be better not only at what they do, but how they do it. Applicants and Award recipients applaud the Business Ethics Award mentorship experience.
The application process is a valuable tool, making organizations look inward at their existing practices and challenging them to objectively examine what they are doing and evaluate ways in which they can become a better company.
By involving employees in the application submission process, businesses have seen an enthusiastic attitude change and ‘buy-in’ to help their company promote ethical business practices, both internally amongst themselves and externally with customers and vendors.
