Disney Has Been Named to TIME’s Most Influential Companies List Again
Despite the tumultuous couple of years that the company has gone through, Disney has once again been named to the the TIME100 Most Influential Companies list.
Perhaps making the honor even more meaningful, Disney was the only media & entertainment company to be included on the list.
In their profile on Disney, TIME noted some of Disney’s struggles in recent years, including its push for profitability in steaming, its proxy battle with Nelson Peltz, and an ever-changing media environment.
As the magazine sums things up, “Foes vanquished, Iger can focus on all these challenges and get on with the real work of bringing Disney+ to profitability; the company expects that to happen by the end of the year.”
How TIME Compiles The List
According to TIME, the Most Influential Companies list was compiled by the magazine’s editors who “request suggestions and applications from across sectors, survey our contributors and correspondents around the world, and seek advice from outside experts.”
“No single data point or financial metric makes a TIME100 Company,” TIME said. “Instead, we are looking at a mosaic of qualities, studying impact, innovation, ambition, and success. All in the many different forms that take shape today.”
Notably, Disney has been included on the TIME100 Most Influential Companies list every year since the list’s inception in 2021.
The Future Looks Bright
With Nelson Peltz selling his stake in Disney, Bob Iger moving the company out of the culture wars, profitability in streaming within reach, and Disney set to invest a massive amount of money in its theme parks, it looks like Disney will be on the list for years to come.
Not bad for a company that just celebrated its 100th birthday.
