It is one of only 36 companies of the “500” that are listed on stock exchanges.
“We are very honoured to be included in the rankings with four business giants. It’s a tribute to our dedicated and talented employees. I’m also grateful to our loyal customers world-wide who helped make this growth possible,” says BioNeutra founder, President and CEO, Dr. Jianhua Zhu.
BioNeutra is a Canadian awards leader which, for the past four consecutive years, has been included in the list of Canada’s top 1,000 publicly traded companies created by Canada’s influential business newspaper, the Globe and Mail. The country’s top business magazine, Canadian Business and Macleans have also ranked BioNeutra as one of the fastest growing companies in Canada for the past two years.
The Company is the recipient of nearly 40 awards, honours and recognitions and is a nominee for seven awards for 2020 and is a finalist for two of them including one in Europe.
