Stephen Howard, Chief Executive, Business in the Community, said: "I congratulate all the winners of a Big Tick this year.
"It is fantastic to see so many strong examples of responsible business practice.
"The Big Tick is now recognised as both a valuable and difficult award to achieve.
"It means a company has demonstrated ways in which they positively make a difference to the environment, their workplace, the community or in the market place in which they sell, advertise or trade.
"Those who achieve the Big Tick are leading companies, ones that run their businesses aware that they depend above all on the talent, innovation and loyalty of their people.
"They know that they cannot build a successful sustainable business without constantly showing their commitment to being a better business.
"Business in the Community mobilises business for good: The Awards for Excellence is our annual benchmark of the very best.
"It is reassuring to see such a high standard in all the Big Tick winners this year".
