Local Business Ethics Awards Handed Out

Three Rochester companies have been named recipients of a 2014 ETHIE Award, which was presented Monday night by the Rochester Area Business Ethics Foundation.

In the large-sized category (with more than 150 employees), the ETHIE recipient is Iberdrola-RG&E.

In the medium-sized category (between 50 and 150 workers), the ETHIE was awarded to Genesee Valley Motors in Avon.

And in the small-sized category (less than 50 employees) the Ethie went to Rainbow Restorations of Rochester.

The awards are given out by an independent panel of judges based on criteria that include executive commitment to business ethics; a company ethics program; conflict resolution procedures, and demonstration of good corporate citizenship.

In addition to the ETHIE awards, the Rochester Area Business Ethics Foundation also announced five scholarships valued in total at $8,500.
