At the beginning of each year, Fortune takes a look back and counts the companies that have appeared over and over again, ranking after ranking.
To qualify Fortune’s Blue Ribbon, a company must have appeared at least on four of our nine most rigorous annual rankings from the previous year: Fortune 500, Fortune Global 500, 100 Best Companies to Work For, Future 50, Fortune 500 Europe, Change the World, World’s Most Admired Companies, 100 Fastest-Growing Companies or Most Powerful Women.
Twelve companies ended up on five lists and another 43 companies made at least four appearances. Below is the complete list of last year’s Blue Ribbons.
