Impact XM is proud to announce that we have been named the Gold Winner for Most Environmentally Responsible Company of the Year in the Best in Biz Awards 2025—one of the most prestigious business awards programs in North America and globally. This honor reflects our long-standing commitment to creating sustainable, environmentally responsible brand experiences and reinforces our role as an industry leader driving meaningful change.
Best in Biz Awards is renowned for being the only independent business awards program judged exclusively by top-tier editors and reporters from leading publications including Associated Press, Forbes, Globe and Mail, Wired, The New York Times, MediaPost, Ottawa Citizen, and others. Since the program’s inception in 2011, its judging panels have remained completely independent, ensuring objective evaluations and placing significant weight on innovation, impact, and integrity. This year, the 15th annual awards program continued its tradition of recognizing organizations that are not only advancing their industries, but also uplifting their employees, communities, and the environment.
The 2025 awards cycle showcased a remarkable spectrum of innovation across more than 100 categories. Judges noted significant advancements in AI-driven solutions, expanding workplace benefits, enhanced diversity and wellbeing programs, and a growing dedication to environmental responsibility. To be selected as the Gold Winner in the Most Environmentally Responsible Company of the Year category among such exceptional entries is a testament to the depth and authenticity of Impact XM’s sustainability initiatives.
“Winning Gold in the Best in Biz Awards is an incredible honor and a reflection of the values that guide every decision we make,” said Heather Griffin, VP of Marketing at Impact XM. “Environmental responsibility isn’t a single initiative for us—it’s a commitment woven into our culture, our partnerships, and the experiences we create alongside our clients and vendors.”
This achievement highlights our continued efforts to reduce environmental impact across our operations and client programs. From implementing material and waste reduction strategies, to designing long-term reusable exhibit systems, to strengthening responsible supply chain partnerships, Impact XM has remained committed to integrating sustainability into every phase of experiential marketing. Our teams continue to explore innovative materials, adopt data-driven carbon impact measurement, and collaborate closely with vendors and clients who share our commitment to environmentally conscious design. These efforts have helped set new standards for what responsible experiential production can achieve.
For Impact XM, this award represents more than recognition—it reflects our core values and our belief that creativity, strategy, and sustainability must move forward together. As Best in Biz celebrates its 15th year of honoring companies that positively impact their industries and communities, we are grateful to stand among organizations making meaningful contributions to the future. We are honored by this recognition and remain dedicated to building on this momentum as we continue to innovate, evolve, and champion environmentally responsible practices across the experiential landscape.
