Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies award is a national program that recognizes Canadian companies implementing world-class business practices and creating value for their customers, employees and shareholders in innovative and exciting ways. Not only does the designation reflect recognition, it has become a tool to drive new business, secure financing for growth, boost morale, and attract the best talent in the country.

“We would like to congratulate Levitt-Safety Limited and its entire workforce. Achieving Canada’s highest level of Canadian business excellence takes a united effort and we are privileged to acknowledge such a strong team,” said John Hughes, Partner, Growth Enterprise Leader, Toronto, Deloitte.

In order to make the 50 Best list, companies must pass an extensive and in-depth interview process that assesses and examines management practices. An independent judging panel also evaluates how each company embraces new technology, globalization, and a new generation of people entering the workforce, as well as how it recognizes the importance of leadership, strategy, culture and brand.
