Companies were evaluated against criteria that included commitment to and demonstration of ethical practices in the marketplace; high standards of behavior toward customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and the communities in which they do business; long-term value of ethics policies to shareholders, customers and employees; and training and communications programs to assist employees in carrying out established ethics policies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;As a winner, Next Level Purchasing "clearly demonstrates superior character on a daily basis and consistently exceeds marketplace standards for ethics in its relationships with customers, employees, suppliers, industry peers and the communities in which it does business,” said Warren King, President of the Better Business Bureau of Western Pennsylvania.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;“Ethics and integrity is of paramount importance to Next Level Purchasing as we not only operate with high ethical standards, but our clients – mid-size and large businesses – trust us to teach their employees how to do business with their suppliers ethically and profitably,”&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;said Charles Dominick, SPSM, SPSM2 – the President and Founder of Next Level Purchasing, Inc.  “It is a true honor to win the Better Business Bureau’s Torch Awards as there is no name more synonymous with business ethics than the BBB.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Among its many ethics-related initiatives, Next Level Purchasing released an Express Course in 2011, “15 Rules for Ethical Supplier Interaction,” to help all clients’ employees that interact with suppliers do so in a way that&lt;/span&gt; meets the highest standards for business ethics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-x9hgJ6G9n9g/TvzDn_tKl-I/AAAAAAAAAL4/dn5X02z5qus/s1600/bbb-award-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left;
