ST. PAUL, Minn. (January 8, 2025) – Sunrise Banks Off Site Link, a socially responsible, values-based bank with locations in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota and Sioux Falls, South Dakota, has been named to the 2025 Top Impact Companies list Off Site Link for the seventh straight year. Real Leaders® Off Site Link, a global media and membership platform dedicated to inspiring the future of business, publishes the list.
Now in its seventh year, the Top Impact Companies list highlights privately-owned businesses making exceptional contributions to society and the planet. The list features a mix of respected impact brands of all sizes and from a variety of industries. Sunrise Banks ranks #21 on the 2025 Top Impact Companies list.
“Being recognized as a Top Impact Company is, in itself, a tremendous honor,” says David Reiling, President/CEO of Sunrise Banks. “To be named to this list for seven straight years is an incredible accomplishment. I am beyond proud of our Sunrise Banks employees for truly embodying what it means to be a force for good and empowering financial wellness in our communities every day.”
Stricter Standards to Highlight True Impact Leaders
This year’s competition attracted over 300 applications from more than 15 countries. They were assessed on their growth, revenue, and six pillars of I.M.P.A.C.T.: Intention, Model, People, Accountability, Collaboration, and Transformation. Through a rigorous evaluation process, the companies that truly embody purpose-driven leadership were ranked and celebrated.
The 2025 ranking raised the bar, making it harder than ever to earn a spot. The updated criteria excluded nonprofits and publicly traded companies and increased the minimum revenue requirement to $2 million.
“It seems like every company is calling themselves an impact company these days,” says Kevin Edwards, President of Real Leaders. “We want to spotlight businesses that are genuinely dedicated to making a difference. By incorporating CEO interviews and community-driven impact evaluations, we ensure that only the most deserving organizations made the list.”
A special “Real Leaders UNITE” awards celebration will be held in San Diego on February 3-4, 2025 to honor the winners, connect their CEOs, and inspire better leadership.
