WM has been recognized on Fortune's World's Most Admired Companies 2021 list for the third year in a row, and has moved up to the first position in Fortune’s industry category! This list is home to companies that have reached the pinnacle of excellence in nine key performance areas – from investment value to social responsibility. “Being recognized on this list is a testament to the commitment and hard work of our nearly 50,000 team members,” said Jim Fish, president and CEO of Waste Management. “We are truly proud of every team member who helped make WM what it is - a People First company that's always working for a sustainable tomorrow.”
Forbes recognized WM on its list of Canada’s Best Employers 2021! Forbes and Statista selected Canada’s Best Employers through an independent survey applied to a vast sample of more than 8,000 Canadians working for companies with more than 500 employees in Canada. The evaluation was based on direct and indirect recommendations from employees that were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family. “This honor confirms what we have long believed – that Waste Management is a great place to work. Over the past year through the pandemic, the company has provided the security and support our team needs. Our core values of safety, the environment, our customers and inclusion and diversity foster a culture where employees are empowered to Do the Right Thing. The Right Way. All of this tied together creates a workplace that allows individuals to feel part of an engaged team that takes pride in our work.” - Lesley Warner, People Director, Canada Congratulations to the incredible work of Team Canada!
