Heating, cooling and beyond
The Better Business Bureau of Central Ohio has awarded Hetter Heating & Cooling the 2010 Torch Award for Ethical Enterprising. Three businesses and one non-profit organization have been selected as recipients of this prestigious award.
"Winning this award is both an honor and a responsibility, says Hetter president & owner John Hetterscheidt. "We have such great respect for the BBB. The work they do in our community is priceless. We want to continue offering great service to our customers and even raise the bar."
Hetter won in the most contested category (for companies with 50 or less employees) and is only the third heating & cooling company to win the award since its inception and the first in six years.
A panel of judges selected these organizations based on six ethical enterprising criteria and based on demonstrating a high level of trust among their employees, customers and their communities.
"These four Torch Award recipients clearly demonstrated with their entries superior character on a daily basis while consistently exceeding marketplace standards for ethics in their relationships with customers, employees, suppliers, industry peers and the communities in which they do business, said Kip Morse, President of the Better Business Bureau."
