TIME just released their list of the 100 Most Influential Companies of 2022. This company award is an extension of the magazine’s popular annual TIME100 list of the world’s most influential people that looks at companies making an extraordinary impact around the world.
One hundred companies were featured online today and will have a deeper story in print come Friday, March April 1st.
Full List: TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies of 2022
The full list of companies weren’t just listed out, but were broken out into five separate categories in which TIME magazine believed them to be doing excellent work in: Disrupters, Innovators, Leaders, Pioneers and Titans. Because the “list” is broken out in this way in a design-heavy way, you can’t view the list in an easy way – that’s why we took time to create the full list of the 100 Most Influential Companies of 2022 below sorted by company name.

Congratulations goes out to every business that met TIME’s criteria. This is an exciting award and a testament to all of the amazing work that these companies are doing. How did they come to this list? Here’s what TIME had to say about the process:
To assemble (the list), TIME solicits nominations across sectors including health care, entertainment, technology, and more from our global network of editors and correspondents, as well as from industry experts. Then we evaluate each on key factors, including relevance, impact, innovation, leadership, ambition, and success.
The end result of all that work is a varied list of 100 companies that are pushing the limits, leading and creating an new lanes that will shape how we live our lives.
