Toyota has once again been named the world’s greenest brand according to the annual Best Global Green Brands report.

The study, conducted by Interbrand, found five automotive brands in the Top 10 as automakers are getting increased recognition for their focus on sustainability and reducing fuel consumption. Toyota has been leading the way for several years now with its Prius hybrid and most recently, its all-electric RAV4 EV.

Coming in at second place was Ford, which has recently launched a number of hybrid vehicles including its Focus EV. Third place was Honda while Nissan landed in fifth. Nissan climbed 16 spots since last year’s study. The fifth automaker in the top 10 was Volkswagen in seventh place on the list.

Surprisingly, Chevrolet and its Volt was nowhere to be seen in the top 50.
