Eighteen outstanding businesses and nonprofits from Nebraska and Southwest Iowa have been named recipients of
the Better Business Bureau’s 2025 Torch Awards for Ethics (bbb.org/omahatorch). These organizations will be honored at the 28th Annual BBB Torch Awards Luncheon on Wednesday, Sept. 24, at A View West Shores in Omaha.

The Torch Awards for Ethics recognize companies and organizations that demonstrate exceptional integrity and
ethical practices in their operations. The 2025 celebration will also include winners from Kansas, Missouri and South
Dakota, making this a truly regional recognition of ethical excellence.

This year’s luncheon will also feature the debut of a new Veteran-Owned Business category, expanding the scope of recognition to highlight the contributions of veteran entrepreneurs committed to doing business with integrity.

Attendees will have the opportunity to:
• Network with some of the region’s most trusted and principle business leaders
• Celebrate ethical leadership and commitment to community
• Learn about organizations that prioritize integrity over profit

Torch Award winners were selected by an independent panel of industry experts and will advance for consideration in the International Torch Awards for Ethics.

Tickets and sponsorships for the event are available now. To reserve your seat and see the full list of honorees, visit bbb.org/omahatorch.
