Keppel Group's continuous efforts to uphold sound corporate governance, effective investor relations and transparent disclosure have been honoured at the annual Singapore Corporate Awards. The Group garnered five accolades for Best Managed Board, Best Investor Relations and Best Annual Report at the awards ceremony on 7 August 2013.
Keppel Corporation's 11-member board was named the Best Managed Board (Bronze) among Singapore-listed companies with market capitalisation of $1 billion and above. On top of having a majority of independent directors on its board, the company also has an appointed independent coordinator to ensure that the board performance assessments are carried out promptly and fairly, to maintain an effective and robust board.
For the Best Annual Report category, the Group clinched three awards, a result of efforts put in to ensure clarity and relevance of content as well as readability in the presentation.
Keppel Telecommunications & Transportation (Keppel T&T) also clinched the Best Investor Relations (Silver) Award.
The Singapore Corporate Awards is jointly organised by The Business Times and Singapore Exchange to recognise corporations that exemplify and lead in good governance and transparency.
