Business Ethics Association Buffalo Niagara

the mission and purpose of the business ethics association buffalo niagara is to foster, promote and recognize ethical business practices in the buffalo niagara region, which includes the eight counties of western new york. the bnbea was established in 2007 to identify and honor companies that demonstrate a firm commitment to ethical business practices in daily operations, management philosophies, and responses to crises or challenges. each year, bnbea celebrates business ethics by honoring local companies who display business ethics both internally and externally. finalists and award recipients are recognized at our annual celebratory event in november at which time the crystal award is presented to the recipient companies. as a result of the early success of the annual bnbea award program and other related educational and supporting activities, the buffalo niagara business ethics association was created in 2010 and received new york 501(c)(3) status the following year.
