The list itself is a collaborative effort between Fortune and Korn Ferry — global consulting firm. A total of 3,760 higher-ups and analysts from all over the industry were asked to list out the top ten companies that they admired most on nine different criteria, such as investment value, management quality and social awareness.
What are the top ten companies of 2023 as per Fortune?
And, in case you are interested, here’s a quick rundown of the complete list by Fortune:
- Apple
- Amazon
- Microsoft
- Berkshire Hathaway
- JPMorgan Chase
- Walt Disney

This signals an interesting shift, which is worth following throughout 2023. It will be interesting to see what Apple does to retain the treasured first spot, but also how other competitors will step up their game.
All in all, the top three spots have not changed since last year, but the lower half of the list has shifted around. Regardless if the list simply provides prestige points to these companies or not, it’s a signal that the times are changing and we’re interested in seeing how.
