(Kansas City, Missouri) – (January 17, 2024) — In its sixth year, Real Leaders®, a Global Media, CEO network, and Certified B Corp, dedicated to inspiring the future of business, is thrilled to announce the 2024 Top Impact Companies. With over 500 applications from 15+ countries, the awards ranked privately-owned companies by asking 30 questions within 6 categories of I.M.P.A.C.T (Intention, Model, People, Accountability, Collaboration, and Transformation) to vet and rank companies based on those parameters. 

In addition to the new I.M.P.A.C.T categories, the awards debuted five new awards such as Most Valuable Mission, Most Innovative Model, Most Impactful People, Best Collaboration, and Most Transparent.

“After five successful years of producing the go-to list of the ‘Top Impact Companies’ it was time for Real Leaders to expand its mission by growing an impact awards community that preserves its integrity while scaling its impact,” said Kevin Edwards, Real Leaders’ General Manager.

The 2024 list features a mix of respected impact brands of all sizes and from a variety of industries with companies such as Brandless, Generate Capital, Cotopaxi, and Every Man Jack. SEE IMPACT AWARDS RANKING.

“We are thrilled to be recognized as a Top Impact Company by Real Leaders®  among many other values-aligned companies,” said Beverly Coberly, Chief Executive Officer of the Extension Foundation. “Our long-term focus on supporting and serving the U.S. Cooperative Extension System has been a huge part of achieving this award”.

A special “Real Leaders UNITE” awards celebration will be held in San Diego on February 6, 2024, to honor the winners.
