The 2019 BBB Integrity Award focuses on demonstrated ethical business practices with key stakeholders including customers, employees and community at large, rather than a company’s growth, profitability or popularity. The Integrity Award Winners were chosen by an independent panel of judges consisting of metro Omaha business leaders and members of the academic community.
“BBB’s Integrity Award Winners have shown that ethics and integrity are core values of their organization,” stated Jim Hegarty, president and CEO of Better Business Bureau, Inc. serving Nebraska, South Dakota, the Kansas Plains and Southwest Iowa. “The 2019 BBB Integrity Award winners join an elite group of organizations that realize dealing fairly and honestly with employees, customers and partners are central to profitability and growth. They serve as role models for all businesses located in the metro Omaha area, and the Better Business Bureau Foundation is pleased to honor them with this prestigious award.”
