Vancouver, British Columbia-based Oppy has been recognized as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for the 22nd time.
In addition, Oppy is in the program’s Platinum Club for the 16th year, according to a news release.
To attain Canada’s Best Managed Companies standing, candidates apply annually and go through a rigorous assessment led by a multidisciplinary judging panel. Companies are evaluated on their level of maturity on four core pillars: strategy, commitment, capability and financials. Oppy has been chosen every year since it first applied in 2001, according to the release.
“It’s a particularly profound year to be honored for this award,” John Anderson, chair, CEO and managing partner for Oppy, said in the release. “As we’ve glimpsed back on 20 years of expect the world from us, we’ve also really honed in on what lies ahead. Being a Canada’s Best Managed company through the entire life of our brand promise proves that the heart of Oppy is beating strong, and the clarity of expectations we have for ourselves, and others have of us, will auspiciously guide our way into the future.”
New this year, applicants were awarded bonus points for demonstrating leading-edge practices in the realms of ESG (environmental, social and governance) initiatives, with particular attention on reducing gas emissions, limiting waste, improving energy efficiency and cultivating diversity, the release said. Outlining its sustainability achievements and roadmap in the first edition of its sustainability report, “Expect the world from us,” Oppy outlined its accomplishments and vision for the future to the judges.
This recognition follows Oppy’s Canadian distinctions for 2023, including BC’s Top Employers and Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures along with the induction of Anderson into the Business Laureates of British Columbia Hall of Fame at the end of this month, the release said.
