December 2nd, 2025 (Calgary, Alberta) -Righteous is proud to announce the company has once again been recognized as one of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures™ by Waterstone Human Capital. This achievement reaffirms Righteous’s commitment to fostering an unparalleled workplace culture.

This national program annually recognizes best-in-class Canadian organizations for having cultures that enhance performance and help sustain a competitive advantage. 

“Over the last 15 years, creating a culture that makes the feeling of coming to work enjoyable and welcoming has been the mission ,” said James Boettcher, CEO and Custodian of Culture. “I often say that, now after all these years, the team carries the culture. Culture is what goes on when no one is looking. It’s theirs, I am just the custodian of it. So for them to be recognized is incredibly meaningful.”

This recognition underscores Righteous’s continued commitment to fostering a workplace where happiness, health, growth, and opportunity can flourish. These moments are a chance for gratitude and a reminder of the responsibility that comes inherently in building the type of company you would want your mom or dad to work for.

“This pursuit for greatness for what a company is, never ends - it’s an infinite game” Boettcher added. “And every moment like this reaffirms our belief that business can, and should, be a force for good.”
