About Canada’s Best Managed Companies Program
Canada’s Best Managed Companies program is one of the country’s leading business awards, recognizing excellence in private Canadian owned companies. Established in 1993, the program continues to serve as a mark of excellence for organizations that demonstrate strong leadership, sustained growth, and a commitment to best in class management practices. Each year, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies compete for this designation through a rigorous, independent evaluation process led by a panel of judges, with applicants required to requalify annually to maintain their status.
The Best Managed Companies program evaluates applicants across four key pillars: Strategy, Culture & Commitment, Capabilities & Innovation, and Governance & Financials. These pillars represent the foundation of long-term, sustainable success in Canadian business. Strategy focuses on how clearly a company defines and executes its vision for growth. Culture & Commitment assesses leadership’s dedication to fostering a strong organizational culture and engaging employees at all levels. Capabilities & Innovation looks at how well a company leverages technology, talent, and continuous improvement to stay competitive. Governance & Financials examines the strength of leadership practices, risk management, and financial performance. Together, these elements distinguish the companies that lead with purpose, resilience, and results.
Canada’s Best Managed Companies are recognized at four levels. New winners are selected annually from first time applicants. Best Managed winners are companies that have successfully requalified and maintained their designation over multiple years. Gold Standard winners have sustained their Best Managed status for four to six consecutive years, demonstrating ongoing commitment to excellence. Platinum Club members are organizations that have maintained their Best Managed designation for seven years or more, representing sustained leadership, resilience, and long-term performance.
The program is sponsored by Deloitte Private, CIBC, Norton Rose Fulbright, Export Development Canada, The Globe and Mail, and TMX Group. Together, these sponsors support a community of high performing Canadian businesses that are driving innovation, economic growth, and long-term value across the country.
