A new ranking has revealed the most reputable companies in Canada this year.

Costco came out on top of all the companies, including big Canadian retailers like Dollarama, Canadian Tire, and Tim Hortons.

On April 10, 2025, Leger released a reputation study that evaluated more than 300 companies in Canada, including banks, discount stores, restaurants, grocery stores, and more.

It's based on financial success, social responsibility, honesty and transparency, quality of products and services, innovation, and attachment.

These are the top 10 most reputable companies in Canada for 2025:

  1. Costco
  2. Sony
  3. Samsung
  4. Google
  5. Canadian Tire
  6. YouTube
  7. Interac
  8. Dollarama
  9. The Home Depot
  10. Toyota

Costco had one of the biggest increases in reputation since last year.

Air Canada, Huawei, LG, NHL, Ford, Subaru, Sunwing, Toyota, Winners, Walmart, Mazda, Paypal, Great West Life, Canada Life, Volkswagen, and DHL also moved up in the ranking.

When it comes to the losers, Canada Post, Boeing, TikTok, Tim Hortons, and Lowe's had the biggest delices in reputation.

These are the most reputable Canadian companies in 2025, according to the ranking:

  1. Canadian Tire — 5th overall
  2. Interac — 7th overall
  3. Dollarama — 8th overall
  4. Shoppers Drug Mart — 13th overall
  5. McCain — 25th overall
  6. Maple Leaf — 27th overall
  7. Winners — 28th overall
  8. Mark's — 29th overall
  9. A&W — 30th overall
  10. Cineplex — 31st overall
  11. Purolator — 32nd overall
  12. CAA — 33rd overall
  13. Indigo — 36th overall
  14. Rona — 43rd overall
  15. Home Hardware — 44th overall

Last year, the most reputable companies in Canada were Google, Sony, Canadian Tire, Samsung, YouTube, Shoppers Drug Mart, Microsoft, Amazon, Dollarama and Costco.

Shoppers Drug Mart, Microsoft and Amazon have fallen out of the top 10, while Costco has surged to the number one spot in 2025.
