TDIndustries has been named a winner of the inaugural Better Business Bureau’s Torch Award for Ethics.

TD took home the trophy for the extra-large company category. TD was acknowledged specifically for its defining core values of building and maintaining trusting relationships, fiercely protecting the safety of all partners, leading with a servant’s heart, passionately pursuing excellence, and celebrating the power of individual differences.

“We have, through our core values, a very clear roadmap for how we go about our ethics, our character and our integrity as a company,” said Chief People Officer Amy Messersmith, who accepted the award on behalf of TD.

The awards are presented in six categories to North Texas organizations that are evaluated on the integrity and ethics behind their business dealings as demonstrated by their policies, education, business-to-business recommendations, customer reviews, and financial track record, among other criteria.

The awards are also presented in five separate employee-size categories (extra-small, small, medium, large, and extra-large), and a sixth award is presented to a non-profit organization.

The Torch Award for Ethics is presented by the Dallas Business Journal for the Better Business Bureau, and are part of a larger ethics program across the globe. Winners of the local awards will go on to compete at an international level in the greater Better Business Bureau’s Torch Awards for Ethics.
