Enhancing corporate governance in Singapore companies

IT IS important that governance in Singapore's corporate sector remains relevant and congruent with the ever changing regulatory requirements and best practices both locally and globally. In the light of this, the enhanced Singapore Governance and Transparency Index (SGTI) has pushed corporate governance for Singapore's listed companies to a higher level through a more comprehensive and holistic approach.

Transition to SGTI

Building on a strong seven-year track record of the Governance and Transparency Index (GTI), the SGTI retains its emphasis on the core principles of board matters, remuneration, accountability and audit from Singapore's Code of Corporate Governance revised in 2012. In particular, it strengthens measurements for corporate governance practices and disclosures along these principles.
