MISSISSAUGA – Ontario: Nissan Canada Inc. announced today that the company has been recognized by Waterstone Human Capital, the cultural talent advisory firm in Canada, as one of Canada's Most Admired Corporate Cultures™ for 2024.

This national program recognizes best-in-class Canadian organizations, CEOs, and CPCOs for fostering high performance corporate cultures that help sustain a competitive advantage.

"These awards recognize the very best in corporate culture – those leaders and organizations that have built and nurtured performance-driven cultures and that are at the forefront of culture best practices," says Marty Parker, President and CEO of Waterstone Human Capital and Chair of the  Canada's Most Admired™ program. "This year's winners actively craft high-performance cultures and serve as an inspiration for others who want to do the same."

"On behalf of Waterstone Human Capital and our partners, congratulations to the 2024 award winners," says Parker. "We look forward to celebrating their success and the impact culture is having on their growth and performance."

Nissan's corporate culture is defined by a strong commitment to innovation, employee engagement, and social responsibility. In 2024, Nissan partnered with a Silicon Valley tech firm to enhance our innovation capabilities, encouraging every employee to dedicate 1-2 hours each week to ideate within their areas of expertise. This culture of innovation is complemented by our dedication to listening to our employees; we conduct two annual anonymous surveys through third-party vendors to gauge engagement and gather honest feedback. The insights gained from these surveys directly inform our action plans, ensuring that employee voices lead to meaningful improvements.

Additionally, social responsibility is embodied in the Nissan Canada Foundation, established over 30 years ago to give back to the communities we serve. With nearly 40% of our employees actively volunteering at events organized by the Foundation and internal Employee Resource Groups, we foster a culture where giving back is not just encouraged but celebrated. Together, these elements create a vibrant and supportive workplace that drives both personal and organizational growth.

"Receiving this award is a tremendous honor for Nissan Canada and a testament to our unwavering commitment to fostering a high-performance culture, says Trevor Longley, President Nissan Canada Inc.. We believe that innovation, employee engagement, and social responsibility are the cornerstones of our success. This recognition inspires us to continue nurturing an environment where every voice is heard and every idea is valued. We are proud to be part of a community that celebrates excellence in corporate culture and look forward to furthering our impact on both our employees and the communities we serve, concludes Longley."

This award follows Nissan Canada's recent certification as a Great Place to Work® for the sixth consecutive year.
