The Better Business Bureau of the Upstate is accepting nominations for the 2013 Business of Integrity Award. The award recognizes outstanding businesses for their commitment to marketplace standards that benefit consumers, employees, suppliers, industry peers and the communities in which they do business. Nominations are open to all Upstate area for-profit businesses. Categories are marketplace ethics, customer service and community service.
Among last year’s seven winners, the Steve W. Sumner law firm won the customer service award in the one-10 employee category. The bureau noted that staff is available on evenings and weekends, and the owner contacts dissatisfied clients personally.
Rush Wilson also won the marketplace integrity award in the same category for a business model based on high moral and ethical standards.
Nominations are due August 28, applications September 25. Awards will be announced November 7. The process also includes an in-person interview session. Materials and information are at upstatesc.bbb.org, or contact Tammy Dankovich at tammy@upstatesc.bbb.org.
