I know we do it. I know I preach it and teach it every day. Every single employee at Bonro Medical knows that our business begins and ends with ethical business behavior. And now, we are extremely proud to say that the Better Business Bureau agrees! So much so that last week, the BBB awarded Bonro Medical the Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics.

Like our entire staff at Bonro Medical, the BBB knows that honesty, integrity and ethical business practices are at the foundation of every long-lasting successful business. The BBB also believes that it is so integral to the business marketplace that they have begun annually recognizing those businesses that best exemplify the high ethical standards espoused by themselves and, even more importantly, customers. There is no award given of which we could be more proud. Everything in business (and personal) relationships boils down to integrity and reputation. Bonro Medical’s mission statement revolves around that very concept. Our company’s daily business practices are based on three words: Honesty, Loyalty and Respect.

The BBB believes strongly in their Torch Awards program. According to the Better Business Bureau, the goal of the Torch Awards for Marketplace Ethics is to:

• Gain public recognition for businesses that go above and beyond in serving their customers, suppliers, employees and communities.

• Recognize businesses for their commitment to maintaining a culture that consistently sets exceptionally high standards of behavior in the buyer-seller relationship.

• Highlight the importance of fulfilling a company’s obligation to the marketplace to do what is right and fair.

• Demonstrate to the business community that adhering to BBB ethical standards is the hallmark of successful, competitive companies.

Bonro Medical is honored to be a recipient and, as its president, I can assure you that we will work even harder going forward to “re-earn” this important distinction every day, in every interaction we have. Why? Well, not only because we know it is the right thing to do, but because we’ve learned that treating people right, being honest and loyal, being fair and compassionate brings business success, too. As Mayor Deke Copenhaver of Augusta, GA told us after the Torch Awards ceremony, “You are all proof positive that ethics in the marketplace do matter and that doing things the right way leads to great success.” We couldn’t agree more and we cannot thank the Better Business Bureau enough for validating our beliefs and practices. Thank you, BBB and thank you to the entire Bonro Medical team. Along with our customers, you’re all winners!
