TIME Magazine has released its ‘2026 World’s Best Companies’ rankings, with NVIDIA securing the top position. Cigna follows in second place, and Apple ranks third. Apple’s return to the top three follows a previous absence from the list in 2025. While the company achieved a ‘very high’ rating for revenue growth, its sustainability transparency score saw a significant decline, dropping to 24th place compared to its 2024 leadership in that category. Apple also ranked third in employee satisfaction, trailing Microsoft and IBM. ~~In addition to these~~ Lenovo Group has also been recognized in the global rankings, placing 51st on the list. The company achieved a total score of 87.51, with high marks specifically in the growth category. This follows a record-breaking fiscal year 2025/2026, during which Lenovo ~~Group received~~ reported annual revenues of $83.1 billion. A primary driver of this growth was the expansion into AI server business and infrastructure, with AI-related profits doubling year-over-year to represent 33% of total group revenue. Regarding sustainability, Lenovo has reached the first stage of its long-term ESG goals and established new targets through 2030. This follows previous recognition ~~in China~~ for ~~environmental, social, and governance achievements, earning~~ the company in China, where it earned a spot on the Forbes China ESG 50 list.
