The Rochester Business Ethics Award (RBEA) is a regional annual award program that recognizes local companies that exemplify high standards of ethical behavior in their everyday business practices and in response to crises or challenges.

The RBEA is modeled on the national American Business Ethics Award, which was founded in 1994 by the National Society of Financial Service Professionals. The Society of Financial Service Professionals, Rochester, NY Chapter, Inc. established the RBEA in 2003 under the umbrella of the national society. All finalists from the local program are entered into the national program, and we’ve had three of our recipients recognized in national competition: Midnight Janatorial, Paetec and QED Technologies.  

In September of 2010 at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center, the RBEA will be presented in three company categories:  (1) small (under 50 employees); (2) mid-size (between 50 and 150 employees), and (3) large (over 150 employees).

More details about the 2010 RBEA luncheon event will appear on this Web site in the coming months.
