Three Central Valley businesses have been recognized by the Better Business Bureau Pacific Southwest, Central & Inland California (BBB) for their ethical practices. The 2025 BBB Torch Awards for Ethics were presented during a live broadcast and at a reception held at Pardini’s Red Room on November 13.
The awards are given to small businesses in three categories based on company size: Category 1 for companies with 1-5 employees, Category 2 for those with 6-15 employees, and Category 3 for firms with more than 15 employees.
This year’s recipients are Griswold Fire Protection of Coalinga, Fresno Construction of Clovis, and Auspice Home Care of Fresno. Other finalists included Cosmo Health Resolution, Fowler White Tiger Martial Arts, High Desert Air Ductor, Inc., American Property Management, Quik Labs LLC (reSource Portal), and Can do Crew Plumbing, Heating & AC.
“These businesses exemplify excellence, not just in their achievements, but in their unwavering commitment to high values and ethics,” said Nathan Gilbert, Regional Director BBB Pacific Southwest, Central & Inland CA. “This is the very essence of the Torch Awards for Ethics, where the community’s nominations highlight small businesses for their remarkable accomplishments and the Better Business Bureau celebrates their integrity and conduct within the communities they serve.”
