What Does a Best Workplace for Giving Back Look Like?
Optimus Volunteers and various fundraising activities

We’re proud to share that Optimus SBR has once again been recognized as one of Canada’s Best Workplaces™ for Giving Back in 2026.

It’s an honour we’ve received several times, but one we never take for granted. That’s because behind this recognition are our people and the many ways they choose to support the communities where we live and work.

So what does a Best Workplace for Giving Back look like?

It looks like showing up.

Throughout the year, Optimus team members step away from their desks and roll up their sleeves to volunteer with organizations doing important work in our communities.

It looks like rallying around a cause.

Whether we’re fundraising together, supporting our charitable partners or finding creative ways to get colleagues, friends, and families involved, giving back has a way of bringing our people together.

It looks like making an impact.

Since 2012, our Corporate Social Responsibility and Pro Bono committees, with the support of our leadership team and our employees, have transformed our shared desire to give back into a powerful force for positive change.

But numbers only tell part of the story. What matters most is the enthusiasm, generosity and commitment behind them. Giving back at Optimus isn’t something driven by a single program or event. It’s something our people continue to embrace, year after year.

 

And we’re proud that, once again, it has earned Optimus a place on Canada’s Best Workplaces™ for Giving Back.
