Oliver's Market Wins North Coast Rotary Business Ethics Award

SONOMA COUNTY, CA — Oliver’s Market was presented with the Rotary District 5130 Ethics in Business Award for Large Business during Rotary District 5130’s inaugural Ethics in Business Awards Program held Oct. 8.

Business and non-profit organizations from Humboldt, Del Norte, Sonoma, Napa, Lake and Mendocino counties were nominated in four categories: small, medium, and large business and non-profit organizations. More than 70 nominations for the awards were submitted by members of their communities in recognition of their adherence to exceptional ethical standards in the conduct of their organizations, according to a news release.

Oliver’s Market was announced as the winner of the Large Business award during the program, conducted this year via Zoom.

In a statement to those attending, Sara Cummings, Oliver’s public and community relations coordinator, focused on Oliver’s commitment to integrity and transparency in all aspects of the company’s operations. Oliver’s Market was founded in 1988 and serves Sonoma County from four locations: two in Santa Rosa, one in Cotati and one in Windsor.

"As a locally owned and operated, employee-owned Social Purpose Corporation, we at Oliver’s Market believe that ethics and integrity are essential ingredients to our success," Cummings said. "Our reputation with customers, vendors, employees, and our community have been earned through our 33 years in business and rely on fairness, consistency, and honesty."

Past-Rotary District 5130 Governor Doug Johnson congratulated the four winning organizations, all 71 nominees, and each of the 12 finalists.

"This is a recognition of agreement on a shared vision—the importance of taking action to effect lasting change," Johnson said. "Today we honor all vocations, we endorse the dignity and worthiness of all, and we celebrate what’s right."
