Summary

Background The Governance & Transparency Index (GTI) was started in 2009, with the intention of assessing the governance, transparency and investor relations of listed companies in Singapore.

The SGTI covers two broad categories, namely the General Category and REITs & Business Trusts Category. Under the General Category this year, 589 listed companies* in Singapore have been scored and ranked based on a unified SGTI assessment framework that has been established to evaluate companies on their corporate governance practices and disclosures.
