Real Leaders® has released its Top Impact Companies list for 2025 and QuesTek Innovations is once again among the award winners. For the second consecutive year, the company ranks among the top 100 companies, coming in at No. 85 and ranking No. 10 among manufacturing/industrial companies.
Now in its seventh year, this list honors privately-owned businesses making substantial contributions to society and the planet. Applicants were evaluated based on their growth, revenue, and six core pillars of I.M.P.A.C.T.: Intention, Model, People, Accountability, Collaboration, and Transformation. After a thorough assessment, the companies demonstrating exceptional purpose-driven leadership were ranked and recognized.
QuesTek’s inclusion was based on its work driving sustainability and human rights outcomes for clients such as SpaceX, Boeing, Apple and Audi. Real Leaders notes that “QuesTek develops alternative high-performance materials that reduce or eliminate rare earth elements and other components that are harmful to the environment and toxic to mine or process, or that are sourced from areas with inhumane labor practices.”
“It is an honor to once again have QuesTek included on this prestigious list,” says executive vice president of market operations Jason Sebastian. “Driving sustainability is central to our work. Through individual engagements and the ICMD® materials design platform, QuesTek is helping companies make a positive impact on their industries and the world.”
The 2025 list covers various industries and includes highly regarded impact brands, including Cotopaxi, PATH, Alter Eco Foods, Phlow, and Climate First Bank.
“It seems like every company is calling themselves an impact company these days,” said Kevin Edwards, President of Real Leaders. “We wanted to spotlight businesses that are genuinely dedicated to making a difference. By incorporating CEO interviews and community-driven impact evaluations, we ensured that only the most deserving organizations made the list.”
A special “Real Leaders UNITE” awards celebration will be held in San Diego on Feb. 3-4, 2025 to honor the winners.
