The annual list recognizes the industry-leading companies that are the best at what they do.
[Danville, VA], December 2, 2025 – Circ is proud to announce its inclusion on the Inc. Best in Business list in the Best Social Good Category. Inc.’s annual Best in Business Awards celebrate the exceptional achievements and contributions of companies that have made a profound impact on their industries.
The recognition honors companies that, through exceptional execution, have achieved significant milestones and core business wins, like customer expansion, key product launches, increased market share, and industry-defining accomplishments. Companies from a wide range of industries – such as technology, health care, finance, and retail – have been recognized for their success and their positive influence on the business world.
The full list can be found on Inc.com and in the upcoming winter print edition of Inc. magazine.
“Each Best in Business honoree achieved a breakthrough moment this year. Some unveiled groundbreaking innovations while others launched savvy marketing campaigns or strategically implemented AI in their companies,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “No matter what their business win looked like, their projects and initiatives had a sizable impact on their company and even on their industry at large, making them worthy of this honor.”
Inc.’s Best in Business Awards are open to companies of all sizes and types, in all industries and locations. Public, private, nonprofit, subsidiary, U.S.-based, and international companies are all encouraged to apply. Inc. editors and reporters hand-review every application and select Best in Business honorees that, in each of the award categories, have had an outstanding influence on their communities, their industries, the environment, or society as a whole.
“Being named by Inc. as Best In Business is a powerful milestone not just for Circ but for the entire circular fashion movement,” said Peter Majeranowski, CEO of Circ. “Our award-winning partnership with Allbirds and Blumaka, delivering the world’s first shoe made from textile-to-textile recycled polycotton, is a real-world expression of Circ’s mission: to reclaim waste, regenerate materials, and prove that sustainability and performance don’t have to be mutually exclusive. This recognition from Inc. reaffirms that when brands, innovators, and communities unite around circularity, we can build a cleaner, more resilient future for fashion.”
