RWDI Ranked as Canada’s Best Managed Companies for 17th Straight Year in 2025

RWDI was once again recognized by Deloitte as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies. As the country’s leading business awards program recognizing management excellence, we are proud to be on the list once again.

2025 marks the 17th year that RWDI has made the Best Managed list, which gives us Platinum Club status. Platinum Club members are winners who have maintained their Best Managed status for seven years or more.

Here’s what our CEO, Mike Soligo, had to say about the win: “17 years of being recognized as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies speaks volumes about who we are. It’s not just a reflection of strong business practices, but a reflection of the people who live our values every day. Thank you for your passion, your integrity, and for continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible.”

Companies are evaluated on their level of maturity on four core pillars: strategy, commitment, capability, and financials. Applicants are also awarded bonus points for demonstrating leading-edge practices in the realms of ESG (environmental, social, and governance) initiatives, with particular attention on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, limiting waste, improving energy efficiency, and cultivating diversity.

As a sustainable company, RWDI’s adoption of ESG principles into our company culture means that our deep technical expertise will have a tangible impact in the world,[SK1] enabling us to help clients achieve their ambitious sustainability goals while minimizing our own environmental impact.
