The Better Business Bureau Of the Maritime Provinces Presents
The 7th Annual Maritime Business Ethics Awards
How often have you recognized an organization for its outstanding integrity? It's not something most of us do on a regular basis. We take exceptional work for granted, but wouldn't it be great to have a deserving organization publicly honored for its professionalism?
Your Better Business Bureau's Business Ethics Awards provide you with an avenue to recognize an outstanding business or non-profit. The Ethics Awards allow you to recognize an organization for going above and beyond.
This year's dinner was a great success!
