Back in 2022, Time added Ford to its 100 Most Influential Companies list, which recognizes the top 100 companies that are making an extraordinary impact around the world. When compiling that list, Time considers a wide array of companies representing a large number of sectors, including health care, transportation, technology, and entertainment. The magazine’s editors then evaluate each based on its relevance, impact, innovation, leadership, and success. Now, that same entity is once again recognizing Ford on a different type of list.
That list is the World’s Best Companies of 2025, an annual ranking that has now been around for three years. To determine these particular winners, Time partners with Statista, an international provider of market and consumer data and rankings. The study is based on three primary dimensions – employee satisfaction, revenue growth, and sustainability transparency (ESG). This data is garnered via surveys of more than 200,000 employees, revenue growth over the past three years, and Statista’s ESG Database and targeted data research.
Once all of this data was collected and evaluated, it was consolidated and weighted within a scoring model taking into account all three dimensions on an equal percentage basis. That provides with a score of 0-100, and the 1,000 companies with the highest scores were placed on this list. Among that group, with all of the calculations completed, Ford ranked 13th globally with an overall score of 92.52, an employee satisfaction sub-ranking of 31, and it landed at 217 in terms of sustainability transparency, with “outstanding” revenue growth.
As for which companies ranked ahead of Ford, that list was topped by Nvidia, followed by Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Volkswagen Group, BBVA, Airbus, Cigna Corporation, DBS Bank, and Allianz. Some of its peers/rivals ranked further down the list, including General Motors (20), Hyundai (33), Toyota (48), Honda (63), and Volvo (89) all landing within the top 100 on the Time World’s Best Companies of 2025 rankings.
Hitting a parked monster truck is... impressive.
Not something we see every day.
And the results weren't what they expected at all.
A tiny car with a unique history.
Sort of a precursor to the Maverick.

Who reads Time any longer? I haven't even seen an issue for at least 15 years and the only time I hear about it is the annual "Person of the Year", which I disagree with more often than not.
The rest of us wonder if you read anything, or can read at all.
Do you listen to the audio version of 'Mein Kampf'?
Time still had 1 million subscribers in 2024, putting it in the top 25 in the U.S., which isn't bad considering overall magazine sales continue to decrease precipitously.
Literacy and critical thinking skills are highly overrated, if not downright dangerous to some people in power.
According to the latest edition of Time magazine at my dentist’s office. Lyndon Johnson isn’t going to seek a second term as President.
LOL!!!
