OK ETHICS COMPASS AWARDS 2013 HISTORY: The Compass Award program was developed in 2006 by the Oklahoma Business Ethics Consortium, a statewide non-sectarian, non-profit organization consisting of nearly 800 business leaders in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. The purpose of the award is to promote the sharing of best practices in business ethics. To that end, company applications are posted online (below) so that others may access and implement ideas for promoting integrity at work.
PURPOSE & BENEFITS: 1. Promote Oklahoma values of Integrity at work. We do this by spotlighting those companies that have achieved success while staying true to the highest ethical standards. OK Ethics has used this award program inspire and encourage others. 2. The Compass Award application is designed to be a practical assessment tool for companies to use in evaluating the cohesiveness of their current processes for supporting ethical behavior. Past applicants have commented that this is the most valuable aspect of the award. For first-time candidates, this has provided a comprehensive benchmark and springboard for future endeavors. To that end, OK Ethics will provide two free consultations to participating companies. 3. Finally, award recipients openly share their information with other companies who are continually focused on promoting strong ethical practices in their organizations. “All ships rise in high tide.”
AWARD ELIGIBILITY CATEGORIES: Provided that the award criteria is sufficiently met according to the Judging Committee, an award will be given to one recipient in each category as defined by the type of organization and number of regular full-time employees on the organization’s payroll at the time this application is completed.
NOTE: The regulations covering 501 entities are extremely complex. In order to prevent confusion, all organizations deemed as 501 under IRS statutes are excluded from participating as candidates for the award. 2013 AWARD APPLICATION: Click here for an award application form.
