Az Business magazine partners with BestCompaniesAZ in identifying the state’s Most Admired Companies — those companies that show strong leadership, a commitment to the communities, and concern for their employees and customers.

“This is the only awards program that recognizes those companies that are truly moving the needle in Arizona,” says Amy Lindsey, publisher of AZ Big Media, which publishes Az Business magazine.

A selection committee made up of Arizona business leaders is assembled and ranks each company in five categories: 

  • Workplace Culture 
  • Leadership Excellence 
  • Social Responsibility 
  • Customer Opinion 
  • Innovation 

Once those rankings are completed, the selection committee chooses Arizona’s Most Admired Companies.

Deadline for nominations is June 7, 2025,  so nominate today.

Winners of the 2025 Arizona’s Most Admired Companies will be honored at a dinner and reception on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at Chateau Luxe in Phoenix.
