Semper Foods Named to Inc.’s 2022 Best in Business List in General Excellence

 3rd annual list recognizes 241 private companies putting purpose ahead of profit

St. Petersburg, Florida, December 6, 2022 — Semper Foods has been named to the Inc. 2022 Best in Business list in the General Excellence category. Inc.’s Best in Business Awards honor companies that have made an extraordinary impact in their fields and on society.

The list, which can be found in the Winter issue of Inc. magazine (on newsstands December 13), recognizes the most dynamic companies of all sizes and industries that have had an outstanding influence on their communities, their industries, the environment, or society as a whole.

“This team that we work with here at Semper Foods finds a new way to make me proud each and every day. It has always been an integral part of the Semper Foods culture to make sure that we find ways to give back and positively influence the communities in which we are privileged to be a part. I feel confident in saying that Semper Foods has quickly made its own indelible mark on not only our communities but on the industry as well.  To be recognized by an outside group is further validation of our efforts and an extra push to continue striving for excellence.” – Andrew Bennington, Chief Operating Officer of Semper Foods.

Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc., says, “Inc. magazine is dedicated to showcasing America’s most dynamic businesses and the great things they do. The Best in Business awards shine a light on those that have gone above and beyond their original mission to make a social, environmental or economic impact, benefiting those around them.”

Rather than relying on quantitative criteria tied to sales or funding, Inc.’s editors reviewed the companies’ achievements over the past year and noted how they made a positive difference in the world. They then selected honorees in 55 different categories – from advertising to sustainability to retail, and more – and in age-based, revenue-based, size-based, and impact-based categories. The applicant pool was extremely competitive – a huge success for the 241 honored in the list’s third year. Honorees for general excellence across various industries and categories are featured online at inc.com/best-in-business.
