November 27 2013 - 10:18AM
Coastal Contacts Inc. (Nasdaq:COA) (TSX:COA) ("Coastal.com" or "the
Company"), the leading online provider of eyewear, was one of the
winners for Canada's Ten Most Admired Corporate Cultures™ of 2013.
Coastal.com's Canadian subsidiary is www.ClearlyContacts.ca.
This award was founded and presented by Waterstone Human
Capital, one of Canada's fastest-growing retained executive search
firms, which specializes in recruiting for fit and cultural
assessment. This national program, now in its ninth year, annually
recognizes best-in-class Canadian organizations for having a
culture that has helped them enhance performance and sustain a
competitive advantage.
Coastal.com was recognized for the award within the mid-market
category (revenues over $100 million to $500 million).
"What's so impressive about this diverse list of 2013 winners is
the shared belief that their culture is a competitive
advantage–whether they are a leading high-growth e-retailer or a
not-for-profit foundation," said Marty Parker, CEO of Waterstone
Human Capital, in a statement announcing the winners. "They know
that building and sustaining a great culture will result in great
performance."
Roger Hardy, Founder and CEO of Coastal.com, commented: "Here at
Coastal.com, we are believers that culture plays an integral role
in driving the performance of our organization. As proven by many
companies, both past and present, a strong corporate culture can
also help drive superior shareholder returns. We are honored to be
included in such a diverse group of successful Canadian companies
and want to thank Waterstone for recognizing an important—yet often
overlooked—aspect of business."
