TORONTO, ON, CANADA, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Real Leaders® is proud to unveil its 2026 Top Impact Companies, a prestigious annual ranking that recognizes the world’s most inspiring businesses putting purpose into practice. As the #1 global community for values-driven CEOs, Real Leaders celebrates companies proving that profit and positive impact can scale together.
Among this year’s honorees is &BACK COFFEE, a Women-Owned, B Corp certified social enterprise transforming a daily ritual into a catalyst for positive change.
This year’s honorees were selected through a rigorous evaluation process measuring three-year growth, 2024 revenue performance, and each company’s submitted impact application detailing how they are transforming their industries for the better. The result is a curated list of innovative organizations redefining what it means to lead with purpose at scale.
From consumer products improving human health to companies advancing climate solutions, equitable supply chains, social innovation, and community well-being — the 2026 ranking features impact leaders who are not only growing fast, but growing with integrity.
Brewing Impact Through Everyday Moments
&BACK COFFEE was recognized for its innovative approach to impact-driven growth, built on a simple yet powerful philosophy: from bean to cup, and back. By turning everyday coffee consumption into an opportunity for social and environmental progress, the company helps businesses align their coffee programs with sustainability and employee engagement goals while delivering a premium coffee experience.
Rooted in responsible sourcing, planet-friendly practices, and giving back, &BACK COFFEE sources exclusively from Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance certified cooperatives in East Africa and Latin America, with a deliberate focus on the inclusion and advancement of women coffee farmers. The company’s long-term mission is to positively impact 10,000 women coffee farmers, recognizing that when women earn and control income, the benefits ripple through families and entire communities.
As a B Corp with a score of 127.6, &BACK COFFEE demonstrates a deep commitment to transparency, accountability, and measurable impact. The company is certified with The Climate Label by The Change Climate Project, recognizing its commitment to measuring emissions from bean to cup, investing in meaningful reductions, and funding projects that support the future of coffee. &BACK COFFEE is also a proud member of 1% for the Planet, donating one percent of topline revenue to conservation and reforestation initiatives, and uses Omnidegradable® packaging designed to break down in any post-consumer environment.
A key differentiator of &BACK COFFEE’s model is its B2B2C approach, which includes delivering more value for companies who serve &BACK COFFEE by engaging the coffee drinker through digital content and storytelling. Through its Impact QR Code, featured on all packaging and coffee machines, consumers are directly connected to stories from the field, including women farmers, community programs, and environmental initiatives. This platform also allows workplace partners to amplify their own sustainability and corporate responsibility commitments, transforming coffee breaks into meaningful moments of connection and storytelling.
“Being named one of the Real Leaders Top Impact Companies is a tremendous honor,” said Roxanne Joyal, Founder and CEO of &BACK COFFEE. “Our growth is rooted in the belief that business can be a powerful force for good. This recognition reflects our team’s commitment to building a coffee company that delivers quality, transparency, and measurable impact, scaling through strategic partnerships while strengthening the communities that make our coffee possible.”
Setting a New Standard for Companies
Now in its seventh year, the 2026 Real Leaders Top Impact Companies ranking continues to spotlight organizations that combine strong financial performance with meaningful social and environmental outcomes. In an era where consumers, employees, and investors expect more from businesses, these companies are charting the path forward.
“Real Leaders exists to celebrate the achievements of the leaders who are inspiring better business for a better world,” said Kevin Edwards, CEO of Real Leaders. “The 2026 winners demonstrate that scaling impact and revenues are not competing priorities — they are the future of great companies.”
