Across Canada, companies in the convenience, gas and car wash spaces—from national powerhouses to agile independents—are redefining corporate responsibility by leading with purpose. The 2026 Convenience Store News Canada Impact Awards celebrate these changemakers, highlighting how their efforts are driving meaningful progress by tackling community needs, employee well-being and environmental sustainability.
These organizations and their people are stepping up, standing out and smashing barriers. From revolutionary sustainability moves to deeply felt community initiatives, the 2026 winners are proving that leading with intention is the ultimate competitive advantage. They’re not just making policies or ticking boxes, they’re making a difference and changing lives.
CSNC launched the Impact Awards in 2022 to ignite a movement, celebrating the inspiring work and the vibrant people fuelling it. Whether it’s leaning into diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging or building a greener, more resilient future, these actions—no matter the size—are driving the evolution of the channel.
Now in its fifth year, the CSNC Impact Awards continue to honour those who are raising the bar and defying expectations. Together, the 2026 winners are moving the needle on the issues that truly matter and that’s the ultimate measure of success.
