The 2024 cohort of Best Managed companies share common themes such as having a people centric

culture, targeting effective ESG strategies, and accelerating operational digitization.

adaptability in an era of uncertainty sets the standard for how to overcome new barriers and demonstrate

resiliency at the highest levels,” said Lorrie King, Global Best Managed Companies Leader and Co-Leader, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program. “These companies truly impact how Canada is viewed on

the world stage when it comes to the success of private business.”
