Lululemon Athletica has a grand total of 16,530 employees according to their profile on Forbes' website, and the Vancouver company came in at 505 out of 800 on the list.
Forbes gathered its data by surveying 150,000 workers from 57 different companies worldwide.
Gender equality, social responsibility, corporate impact and image, and talent development were some of the different factors taken into account while building the final list.
Plus, survey participants "were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their employers to friends and family," according to Forbes.
They were also asked "to evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stood out either positively or negatively," it added.
Not only did this Vancouver-born company make the cut, but quite a few other Canadian-born companies also did.
Shopify took the gold for Canadian companies and was the highest-ranked Canadian business on the list, taking 56th place.
Outside of Canada, coming in first place among the best employers in the world, the Samsung Group took the win. Microsoft, IBM, Alphabet and Apple followed closely.
