(Phoenix, AZ – July 22, 2025) Better Business Bureau Serving the Pacific Southwest (BBB) has named Blue Signal Search as a finalist for the 2025 BBB Torch Awards for Ethics, sponsored by Desert Financial Credit Union. The program raises awareness in marketplace ethics and honors businesses that operate with integrity.
“Being named a finalist for the BBB Torch Awards for Ethics is a direct reflection of Blue Signal’s core values – to help others, do the right thing, champion change, and be excellent in all we do,” says Blue Signal CEO Matt Walsh. “These values guide every interaction at Blue Signal. They are the key principles we uphold and hold ourselves accountable to as a team. With every interaction, our team reinforces the trust and integrity that define our industry reputation.”
BBB Torch Awards for Ethics is one of the highest honors BBB bestows upon a company, and is designed to highlight outstanding ethical businesses. Finalists are selected by an independent panel of volunteer community leaders based on criteria established by the International Association of Better Business Bureaus.
All finalists completed an evaluation where they demonstrated their commitment to ethics and trust in four categories: Character, Culture, Customers and Community. Finalists have illustrated the character of their organization’s leadership, how an authentic culture is being fostered, how the company prioritizes its relationship with customers, and the impact the organization is making in its community.
One winner from each category will be announced at the signature event on Wednesday, November 19th at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix. For a complete list of this year’s BBB Torch Awards for Ethics Finalists visit torchawards.bbbcommunity.org.
