St. Louis BBB TORCH awards recognize companies and charities that are committed to exceptional standards for ethical business practices and service to their customers, employees, suppliers, and communities.
We look for businesses and nonprofits that others will want to emulate. Nominees must show creativity in their ability to manage customer expectations, provide excellent customer service and resolve disputes. They must demonstrate the ways they inspire their workforce to adopt and communicate their ethics and further their mission. They must embody truth in advertising and help foster ethics within their industry and community.
Customers can nominate potential winners. Companies and charities also may nominate themselves. Winners will be chosen by a panel comprising past TORCH Award winners.
Benefits for winners include:
- Winners’ names will be used in promotions for the 2013 TORCH Awards event at the Chase Park Plaza.

- After the event, winners will receive a TORCH Award logo and details on how they can promote their status as a winner in advertising, marketing and Web sites.
