CANADA’S BEST MANAGED
Canada’s Best Managed Companies is a national awards program, recognizing Canadian companies that have implemented world-class business practices and created value in innovative ways. Applications are reviewed by an independent judging panel that evaluates how companies address various business challenges, including new technologies, globalization, brand management, leadership, leveraging and developing core competencies, designing information systems, and hiring the right talent to facilitate growth. IWCD is extremely proud to be recognized as one of Canada’s Best Managed, having achieved Platinum Club status in 2020.
