About the CABC Achievement Awards

Every other year the Canadian American Business Council reaches out to the business community, policymakers and government leaders on both sides of the border - seeking information about innovative and successful alliances between Canadian and American companies. As the voice of business in the world’s most prosperous relationship, the Council honors these cross-border partnerships that, through strong business growth, remarkable innovation and revenue creations, work to enhance the competitive advantage of the relationship between Canada and the United States.

The Canadian American Business Achievement Award is given to two companies, one Canadian and one American, whose joint enterprise demonstrates the magnitude of the business and trade relationship between our two countries. The winners are chosen by an international panel of judges using exacting standards that examine sustained profitability, job creation, financial strength, environmental responsibility, corporate synergy, exceptional imagination and extraordinary innovation.
