Better Business Bureau Serving the Pacific Southwest (BBB) has named Ideal Plumbing Heating Air Electrical as a finalist for the 2023 BBB Torch Awards for Ethics.

Co-Title Sponsored by HomeStreet Bank and ignite sparked by BBB, the program raises awareness in marketplace ethics and recognizes businesses that operate with the highest levels of integrity.

“At Ideal, we are committed to service excellence, integrity, and taking care of our customers and community. This award is a reflection of the great work of our employees,” said Don Teemsma, president/CEO, Ideal Plumbing Heating Air Electrical.

BBB Torch Awards for Ethics is designed to highlight outstanding ethical businesses. Finalists are selected by an independent panel of volunteer community leaders based on criteria established by the International Association of Better Business Bureaus.

All finalists completed an evaluation where they demonstrated their commitment to ethics and trust in four categories: Character, Culture, Customers and Community. Finalists have illustrated the character of their organization’s leadership, how an authentic culture is being fostered, how the company prioritizes its relationship with customers, and the impact the organization is making in their community.

“Honesty builds trust, which is a vital aspect in the success of a business. For 24 years, BBB has been recognizing outstanding companies in San Diego for their solid commitment to doing things the right way,” said Shelley Bradley, director of Signature Events for BBB Serving the Pacific Southwest.

Winners will be announced at the signature event on Sept. 6 at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine. For a complete list of this year’s BBB Torch Awards for Ethics Finalists visit torchawards.bbbcommunity.org
