Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) presents a highly respected and prestigious award to highlight and celebrate the achievements of top 25 companies who have met certain qualitative and quantitative criteria in terms of their performance. The PSX Top 25 Companies Award is presented to listed companies who have excelled in both corporate governance and financial performance.
The Top 25 Companies Awards was established in 1978 and the very first award distribution ceremony was held in 1980. The objective of PSX Top 25 Companies Awards is not only to reward and recognise the listed companies meeting criteria of excellent performance, but also to set an example and benchmark for other listed companies to follow. At the same time, the award-winning companies are highlighted to local and global investors, given that these winning companies have achieved distinction on several grounds such as dividend payouts, capital efficiency and corporate governance metrics, to name a few of the factors against which these companies are selected. More recently, the selection criteria of SDGs and ESG related reporting as well as Diversity & Inclusion were also included in the Top 25 Companies Awards.
The PSX Top 25 Companies Awards is a touchstone for all companies to follow and achieve. The listed companies who win these awards are not only amongst the best performing companies in Pakistan but are also comparable to the best performing companies internationally.
