Toyota: One of the Top 10 Companies Changing the World

It’s not every day a company gets named to Fortune magazine’s Change the World List, but Toyota has managed to do it twice in three years. In 2015, Toyota had extreme success with hybrid vehicles and earned the number three spot on that year’s list. And for its most recent honor? The Japanese automaker was ranked number eight out of 50 competing companies for its work with hydrogen strategy and for introducing its new hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, the Toyota Mirai. Why Toyota Was Named an Agent of Change Fortune and its partners, FSG, the Shared Value Initiative, and Professor Michael E. Porter of Harvard Business School, rank the chosen companies using the following three factors: Measurable social impact Business results Degree of innovation Finally, Fortune editors choose finalists using other reporting and analysis metrics. The Change the World List recognizes global leaders who are “doing well by doing good,” and Toyota is proud to be recognized for upholding these standards. Toyota Motor North America chief executive officer Jim Lentz stated that “the Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is leading the way toward positive change and a more sustainable tomorrow.” The key? Using hydrogen as fuel. Hydrogen fuel cells produce zero carbon-emissions. What’s more, hydrogen is one of the most abundant resources on the planet and can be found in water, plants, and manure. Toyota decided to harness the power of this clean energy for its latest innovation, the Toyota Mirai. Although currently available in California, the Mirai is helping to make great strides toward the clean transportation drivers crave.
