The Doing Right Spotlight
Celebrating Businesses That Make a Difference
At the UToledo Family Business Center, we believe that businesses have the power to create lasting, positive change. With the generous support of the Robert and Donna Martin Family, the Doing Right Spotlight was created to recognize businesses that go beyond profit—making a meaningful impact in the lives of their employees, customers, and communities.
Each year, we celebrate companies that embody the spirit of “doing right”—whether through philanthropy, employee well-being initiatives, or community service. These companies don’t seek recognition; they do it because it’s the right thing to do. Their stories inspire us all to make a difference, no matter how big or small.
Nominations Now Open for the Doing Right Spotlight 2026
The UToledo Family Business Center is now accepting nominations for the 2026 Doing Right Spotlight, honoring family-owned and privately-held businesses that are making a positive difference.
We’re looking for companies that:
- Support their employees through leadership, culture, and well-being initiatives
- Give back to their communities through philanthropy or volunteerism
- Lead with purpose and integrity, setting an example of ethical business practices
Nominations are open through Friday, December 12, 2025, and honorees will be recognized at our Doing Right Spotlight event on April 14, 2026.
Supporting Future Leaders
The Doing Right Spotlight Student Scholarships invest in the next generation of leaders, with support from past Doing Right Spotlight honorees.
These scholarships recognize students who demonstrate leadership, service, and community impact, helping them pursue their education and create meaningful change.
The Doing Right Spotlight 2025
In 2025, we are proud to celebrate Nysus Solutions, Principle Business Enterprises, Inc., and Ohio Logistics—three companies that are leading with integrity, compassion, and a commitment to giving back. Their dedication to uplifting others, fostering strong workplace cultures, and investing in their communities demonstrates the profound impact businesses can have beyond the workplace.
Watch their stories and be inspired by how they are making a difference.
