To Be the Leader in Advancing Marketplace Trust

BBB's vision is an ethical marketplace where buyers and sellers can trust each other. We pursue this vision by setting standards for marketplace trust, encouraging and supporting best practices, celebrating marketplace role models, and denouncing substandard marketplace behavior.

The Better Business Bureau is a nonprofit organization focused on advancing marketplace trust, consisting of independently incorporated local BBB organizations in the United States and Canada, coordinated under the International Association of Better Business Bureaus (IABBB).
