Oppy takes home three Canadian honors in a series of awards

Continually striving to raise the bar while growing the future of its fresh produce business, Vancouver, British Columbia-based grower, marketer and distributor, The Oppenheimer Group, also known as Oppy, was recently honored three times over for its commitment to its people and community.

British Columbia’s Top Employers for 2023

Oppy was recently selected as one of British Columbia’s Top Employers for 2023 for the seventh year in a row, according to a news release. Honored in the Canadian province Oppy first called home, this annual recognition evaluates industry-leading organizations across a range of criteria that includes:

• Workplace.

• Benefits.

• Training and community involvement.

• Companies that offer progressive and forward-thinking work cultures and programs.

“At the heart of Oppy, our driving force has been to foster an environment where our team members can thrive, in which they feel safe and respected, and where we are continuously working towards an inclusive environment for all,” Vice President of Talent and Culture and Chief People Officer Satri Alpine said in the release. “It’s an honor to share how our company is being recognized in support of that purpose.”

Oppy was also lauded for its work environment, which includes hybrid work options, health and family-friendly benefits, a profit-share program, and employee support, development and recognition initiatives.

Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures

Oppy was also awarded Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures recognition for a third time, recognized as a best-in-class Canadian organization for its success fostering a high-performing corporate culture. This year’s award in the category emphasized companies committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, with a focus on employee engagement.

Announced in November 2022, this award will be accepted by Alpine at Waterstone Human Capital’s March 1, 2023, gala event.  

Business Laureates of British Columbia Hall of Fame

It was also revealed at the end of 2022 that Chairman, CEO and Managing Partner John Anderson will be inducted into the Business Laureates of British Columbia Hall of Fame in May 2023 on behalf of JABC.

This honor recognizes British Columbia business leaders whose efforts have shaped the province and exerted positive influence on the Canadian way of life and those who stand to inspire leaders of the future. Members of the Hall of Fame have demonstrated unique vision, supported others in pursuit of their goals, led lives of integrity and built a legacy that will enrich the lives of those who follow.

“It comes as no surprise that John would be recognized in this capacity, we have so much to celebrate because he’s initiated purpose and inspired others to be their very best,” Alpine said in the release. “Congrats John, and congrats to everyone at Oppy for continuing to live out our promise each day. These accomplishments reinforce what people at Oppy already know — that it is a truly gratifying place to work, contribute and grow.”
