Top Performing Companies, now in its 11th year, inspires growth and success across the economy, and attracts praise internationally.

Year after year it sets the benchmark for measuring actual corporate performance. The Topco Media research team spends a full year ensuring that only genuine corporate leaders are profiled, based on a comprehensive survey across thousands of companies. Each edition is read and referenced by: premiers, CEOs, CFOs, industry analysts and commentators, senior executives of the Department of Trade and Industry, the Black Management Forum, the Government Leadership Academy, the UCT Graduate School of Business and other leading business schools, representatives of the Presidency and embassies, and many others who are interested in top performance.

Visionary companies and government departments seek to partner with empowered, high performance companies. In the commercial world, these partnerships result in an exchange of only the best products and services, most competitive prices and highest levels of service efficiency. Such relationships go on to raise the corporate performance bar ever higher and uplift the economy as a whole, but they begin here: in the pages of South Africa’s Top Performing Companies.
