Last night, AZ Business magazine and BestCompaniesAZ hosted the Most Admired Companies program, an annual event whose primary goal is to recognize those organizations that excel in six key areas:

• Customer opinion
• Diversity, equity, and inclusion
• Innovation
• Leadership excellence
• Social responsibility
• Workplace culture

At the conclusion of the award ceremony and before a capacity crowd honoring 2022’s Most Admired Companies in Arizona, the Arizona Diamondbacks were awarded the ultimate spotlight award for excelling in all key areas: the Publisher’s Award for Excellence in the Pillars of Most Admired Companies.

“I am proud that our continued commitment and investment in people and culture is being acknowledged and celebrated and want to thank AZ Big Media for this award,” said D-backs President and CEO Derrick Hall. “I look forward to continuing to build and improve on an incredible foundation that has been laid by this organization during our 25-year history here in the Valley.”
