6 ACCREDITATION BBB Accreditation is an honor - and not every business is eligible. Businesses that meet our high standards are invited to seek BBB Accreditation. BBB Accredited Businesses have agreed to live up to our Standards of Trust (see Page 4), a comprehensive set of best practices for how businesses should treat the public in a fair and honest manner. AD REVIEW BBB sets standards and evaluates local and national advertisements to insure that people can trust what they say. Businesses and consumers are encouraged to bring these ads to BBB for review. Through our efforts, we can help better educate businesses on how to advertise and help consumers understand what advertising may be deceptive. WHY BBB? BBB is committed to the belief that most marketplace problems can be corrected through voluntary, self-regulation. We champion standards and self regulation and hold businesses accountable to the highest standards of trust in their activities.
