Diamond Schmitt is recognized among Canada’s Best Managed Companies. Today, the practice reconfirmed its position for the 13th straight year, extending its Platinum Club designation.

The prestigious program sponsored by Deloitte and CIBC reviews hundreds of submissions each year from companies seeking to stand out among their competitors. To qualify for Deloitte’s list, companies must show leadership on several key fronts — purpose and strategy, culture and commitment, capabilities and innovation, and governance and financials. Diamond Schmitt was the first architecture practice to be recognized by Canada’s Best Managed Companies.

“In what may be the most challenging year for Canadian businesses since the program’s inception, the 2021 Best Managed winners are a shining example of the importance of leadership, innovation, and resilience in the face of uncertainty,” said Kari Lockhart, National Co-Leader of the Canada's Best Managed Companies program and Partner, Deloitte Private. “These companies should not only be extremely proud of this designation, but for their organizational grit, continued adaptability, and unwavering commitment to their people during a year when it was needed most.”
