Pearl Technology was recently awarded a 2025 Better Business Bureau (BBB) Torch Award at the Gateway Building in downtown Peoria. The company won in the “large business” category.

“We’re honored to be named for this award,” Anthony Mini, president and CISO at Pearl Technology, said. “The Torch award reflects the dedication of our team, whose customer-first mindset has earned us a 99% satisfaction rating. It also underscores our deep commitment to community: from cybersecurity awareness events and STEM programs to helping people transition into IT careers. Our partnerships with groups like InfraGard Peoria Members Alliance and Central Illinois Cyber reinforce our belief that technology must strengthen communities, not just businesses.”

The BBB Torch Awards for Ethics celebrate businesses and nonprofits that demonstrate an exceptional commitment to ethics and integrity in all their business interactions. The program not only emphasizes the importance of building trust but also recognizes the efforts of outstanding organizations in contributing to an honorable marketplace. The Torch Awards highlight organizations that live integrity, transparency, and trust in every interaction.

“Pearl Technology extends sincere thanks to the BBB of Central Illinois for this honor and to the customers, partners, and neighbors for the trust they place in us,” Mini continued. “For us, this recognition is a testament not only to what we achieve but also how we achieve it. At Pearl Technology, our vision is to be the premier trusted technology mission partner for Central Illinois. We enable our customers with secure, reliable, and innovative solutions—protecting their data, empowering their operations, and enhancing their audiovisual experiences. Ethics is not just part of the policy at Pearl Technology; it’s the foundation for how we protect, enable, and serve Central Illinois.”
