Time Magazine recently released its Time100 Most Influential Companies list, and Orkla Snacks, Tony's Chocolonely, Aldi, and Beast Industries (MrBeast/Feastables) made the cut.

The magazine released six categories on its list, including Innovators, Disrupters, Leaders, Titans, Pioneers, and Impact Awards. The snack, bakery, and candy companies on the list were sorted into these categories:

• Disrupters: Orkla Snacks
• Leaders: Aldi
• Pioneers: Tony's Chocolonely, Beast Industries

To assemble the list, Time solicited nominations across sectors and polled its global network of contributors and correspondents, as well as outside experts. Time editors then evaluated each company on key factors, including impact, innovation, ambition, and success. The result is a diverse group of 105 businesses helping chart an essential path forward.

"Tony’s Chocolonely is proud to be named one of Time100 Most Influential Companies of 2025, which highlights companies making extraordinary impact around the world. This recognition is a powerful signal that business can, and should, be a force for good," says Douglas Lamont, CEO of Tony’s Chocolonely.

"We never set out to be influential. We set out to end exploitation in the cocoa industry. From day one, our mission has been to use chocolate as a vehicle for change, raising awareness, leading by example, and inspiring others to join us in creating a fairer, more equitable cocoa industry. Influence was never the goal but if our actions inspire others to join the movement and drive change, we’re here for it. Because the more voices that join in, the closer we get to ending exploitation for good," he continues.

“Being named as one of the Time100 most influential companies is a proud moment for our business. This recognition gives us more fuel to keep scaling our impact, as we strive to prove that ending exploitation in cocoa, growing our company successfully and making damn tasty chocolate can all go hand in hand," he finishes.

Ingvill T. Berg, CEO of Orkla Snacks, says: "We are thrilled to be featured on this prestigious list! It’s a fantastic recognition of the journey we’re on as a company, and it demonstrates the popularity of our iconic Bubs brand."

The recognition comes as Orkla Snacks is currently preparing for a launch of Bubs in the U.S. market this September. Interest in the brand is growing rapidly, both at home and internationally. The last year, Bubs has become a global success trending with the hashtag #swedishcandy with more than 120 million views on social media, it says.
