New Business Award Based Upon Business Ethics and Social Responsibility

Wilmington, NC, June 08, 2012 --(PR.com)-- International Business Ethics Awards, the IBEA, identifies businesses that excel at business ethics, social responsibility and community involvement. Most business awards are based upon revenue growth or are vanity based, the IBEA process differs significantly. The IBEA is the first business ethics award of its kind that is international in scope and rewards businesses of all types, sizes, revenue levels and from varying industry segments. What truly makes the IBEA unique is the fact that professionals and businesses are nominated anonymously by third parties. Nominators can consist of customers or clients, fellow professionals, community organizations, vendors, or other companies. The third party nominations are thoroughly vetted by the IBEA to ensure credibility.

It means a great deal to a company, new or well established, and professionals alike to garner awards and accolades. The trust the Award creates creates, media attention and, often most importantly, employee moral are intrinsic benefits. An additional benefit includes increased revenue and greater status in their respective business or professional industry segment.

Many awards, such as, Inc. Magazine’s Inc. 500 and 5000, Fortune Magazine’s Fortune 500 and Global 500, Fast Company’s variety of awards, and the Better Business Bureau’s Torch awards have come to stand for excellence and have helped a great deal to propel the winners forward business wise; increasing market share, establishing new partnerships, media exposure, building consumer trust, outside investment, and position these winners at the forefront of their fields. IBEA winners all receive the aforementioned benefits as well.

Making the International Business Ethics Awards even more unique are two very important elements. The first is that the focus is on business ethics, social responsibility and community involvement. This can range from how customer complaints are handled to giving back to the community in a way that creates a better environment for all on a local basis. Environmentally friendly “green” initiatives play a big role as well. Secondly, the nominees are nominated, not by the companies themselves or their employees but by independent third parties. The IBEA are not merely another vanity award but an award based upon merit and each company is thoroughly vetted before any IBEA Award is given.

Each IBEA Winner receives a beautiful gold Winner’s Award, a press release disseminated nationally to major news outlets about the Winner and the International Business Ethics Awards logo to proudly display on their website and marketing materials. In addition, Team Member Awards are available for executives and other valuable company staff, along with Team Award Plaques. An IBEA Winner is letting the community, their employees, the media, current and future business partners, investors and their client base know that others were so impressed by their company that the time was actually taken to nominate anonymously their company.

Although in its infancy, the International Ethics Awards has attracted a wealth of talent and demonstrated business leadership amongst its judging panel. It is the IBEA’s goal to become the preeminent awards organization not just for domestic businesses but international as well especially as globalization and inter-country business alliances become the norm. It’s a brave new world and it’s important to know who to trust. The IBEA achieves that goal.
