Bimbo Canada Included in Forbes' Canada's Best Employers 2026 List

TORONTO, Jan. 20, 2026 /CNW/ - Bimbo Canada has been awarded on the Forbes list of Canada's Best Employers 2026. This prestigious award is presented in collaboration with Statista, ranking the world-leading statistics portal and industry provider. The award list was announced on January 20, 2026, and can be viewed on the Forbes website.

Forbes and Statista selected Canada's Best Employers 2026 through an independent survey from a vast sample of more than 37,000 Canada-based employees from all industry sectors working for companies employing at least 500 people within Canada. Over 900,000 employer evaluations were considered. The final score is based on two types of evaluations: personal (those given by employees themselves) and public (those given by friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry), with a much higher weighting for personal evaluations.

Based on the results of the study, Bimbo Canada is honoured to be recognized on the Forbes list of Canada's Best Employers 2026, the second time, after receiving it in 2023.

"Being named one of Canada's Best Employers for the second time reflects the strength of our people-first culture. Our associates' feedback on trust and leadership effectiveness drives how we grow, and this recognition only deepens our commitment to safety and well-being, inclusion, talent development and innovation as we continue to deliver on our purpose to Nourish a Better World," said Leslee Wills, Vice president, People and Corporate Affairs at Bimbo Canada. "This milestone underscores our momentum in leading the consumer packaged-goods industry in associate satisfaction and setting new standards for workplace excellence," she added.
