Ford makes it to 'Time100 Most Influential Companies' list

MANILA: Ford Motor Company was included in Time's second annual Time100 Most Influential Companies list that highlights 100 companies making an extraordinary impact around the world.

The Most Influential Companies list is an extension of the annual Time100 list of the world’s most influential people. 

In a release, Ford quoted Time as to why the publication recognized the American carmaker.

"Cars, SUVs, pickups, and other light-duty trucks account for over half of all US transportation emissions, making electric vehicles (EVs) key to mitigating climate change," Ford quoted Time as saying. 

"But it’s not enough to just offer EVs — people have to actually want them. Ford’s approach, under CEO Jim Farley: electrify some of its most popular models, like the F-150, long America’s best-selling pickup. And it’s working—demand for the all-electric F-150 Lightning helped push Ford’s market value over $100 billion for the first time in January." 

“This (recognition) is especially gratifying because it is not about any individual, but rather a recognition of our incredible employees who work tirelessly to leave the world a better place for our kids and grandkids," Executive Chair at Ford Bill Ford observed. 

"Through their hard work, innovation and creativity, we are fundamentally changing the future of transportation and mobility, and building a cleaner future.”

To assemble the list, Time solicited from its editors and correspondents around the world, and industry experts nominations from every sector, ranging from health care and entertainment to transportation and technology.

Then, Time editors evaluated each one on key factors, including relevance, impact, innovation, leadership and success.
