The Canadian Business Journal (CBJ) is published monthly with one goal in mind: to promote Canadian business nationally, and internationally. With an average of 350,000 audited readers accessing the publication through its website each month - the CBJ gives the Canadian business community a national voice.
In the course of each year we have the opportunity to meet and interview hundreds of leaders in Canada’s business community. The success of Canadian businesses, in particular during the recent global market recessions, demonstrates Canadians’ reputation for working to achieve unparallelled industry leadership, growth and innovation.
In its inaugural year, the 2010 CBJ Company of the Year Award recognized all that is great about Canadian businesses. As the country’s leading online B2B magazine, the CBJ publishes stories every month about the “best in class” in Canadian business. This competition capitalizes on what the CBJ team already knows - that Canada’s leading corporations in the fields of technology, resources, healthcare, and a host of other industries, are among the best in the world.
Now, it’s time to honour those leaders and innovators. Our goal: to find Canada’s number one business, and share that company’s successes with the rest of Canada and the world.
Companies entering the Company of the Year contest will be required to highlight their performance and strengths within four key areas;
- CSR and Sustainability
- Corporate Culture
- Innovation and Research and Development, and
- Operational Growth
Companies with annual revenues in excess of $5 million are invited to compete for the top spot-with the final winner receiving a generous George Media advertisement package and an editorial spotlight in an upcoming issue of the CBJ. Three runners-up will also be chosen in addition to the award recipient, and will be featured in the CBJ as well. Companies can be public or privately owned-but must be able to demonstrate excellence in all four categories.
The CBJ research and editorial teams have spoken to the “best of the best” in Canada-and we know those companies are ready to showcase their strengths-by winning the CBJ Company of the Year Award.
