Bunzl Canada’s annual Delivery & Warehouse Appreciation Week recognizes the dedication of drivers and warehouse teams, fostering a culture of respect, pride, and trust that supports its Great Place To Work® certification.
BURLINGTON, Ontario, Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bunzl Canada is proud to announce that it has once again achieved the prestigious Great Place to Work® Certification, across all its businesses in Canada. This recognition underscores Bunzl’s continued commitment to fostering a workplace culture rooted in trust, inclusion, and employee empowerment.
The certification is based on the Trust Index™ Employee Survey, which captures candid feedback from employees about their experience at Bunzl. The results reflect high levels of trust in leadership, strong team camaraderie, and a shared commitment to service excellence. This year’s certification builds on Bunzl Canada’s previous Great Place to Work® achievement across Canada in 2024, and in its Cleaning & Hygiene business in 2023.
“We’ve worked hard to create a work environment where everyone feels valued and connected to our mission of delivering exceptional service and value to our customers,” said John Howlett, President of Bunzl Canada. “Achieving certification across all our Canadian businesses is a testament to the dedication and passion of our people.”
Howlett’s commitment to employee feedback goes beyond words – he ziplined down the Niagara Gorge to celebrate and thank employees for their outstanding 91% participation rate in the employee survey. The bold gesture reflects his and his leadership team’s belief that listening to employees and acting on their input is essential to building a truly great workplace.
