The 20 Most Innovative CP and Food Companies

3/21/2011
Fast Company released its annual list of the “The World's 50 Most Innovative Companies” for 2011 earlier this month. Not surprisingly, Apple, Inc. was crowned No. 1 for  dominating the business landscape with the iPhone 4, iPad and many more innovations. It was followed closely by social networking all stars Facebook and Twitter -- not surprising again. But what did surprise us was that, in the consumer goods industry where innovation is considered a core strategy for growth, only three CG companies by CGT’s definition made the Top 50: Burberry at No. 13, Nike at No. 23 and PepsiCo at No. 33. Fast Company did however create breakout lists by industry. Here is a look at which companies were deemed most innovative in the consumer products and food industries:
