For more than a decade, Fast Company has been recognizing outstanding achievement with six different awards programs. Most Innovative Companies celebrates organizations that are transforming industries and shaping society through paradigm-shifting products, insights, or services. Innovation by Design focuses on individuals and firms that are addressing some of the world’s most intractable challenges through design solutions. World Changing Ideas highlights initiatives (products, concepts, policies, designs, and services) that aim to enhance life on the planet. Best Workplaces for Innovators recognized companies that are successfully fostering cultures of innovation, encouraging employees from top to bottom to discover, explore, and invent. Next Big Things in Tech highlights new technology breakthroughs that promise to help define the future of the industries they serve. The common theme among all six existing programs is innovation, a core Fast Company value.
Fast Company’s Brands That Matter is the premier showcase for brands that excel in making emotional connections, communicating purpose, and maintaining cultural relevance. These brands stand out for their ability to resonate, transcending mere social engagement to establish genuine bonds. Brands That Matter honorees authentically reflect not just a mission, but a heart and soul that aligns with their customer values and aspirations.
