The Business Ethics Association Buffalo Niagara, established in 2010 as a 501(c)(3), is overseen by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of dedicated individuals who share a passion for raising the bar of business ethics.

The organization identifies and honors companies that demonstrate a firm commitment to ethical business practices in daily operations, management philosophies, and responses to crises or challenges.

Since 2007, the Business Ethics Awards Buffalo Niagara has celebrated local companies displaying business ethics internally and externally. Finalists are recognized at an annual celebratory event in November at which time three Business Ethics Awards are presented to honorees.
