About the Scorecard

ACGS, a scorecard developed by Asian Development Bank (ADB) in partnership with the ASEAN Capital Markets Forum (ACMF), pushes the 600 ASEAN publicly listed companies (PLCs) to raise corporate governance standards and practices. The scorecard is a useful tool to demonstrate ASEAN members’ commitment to comprehensive corporate governance which will be important to increase foreign direct investment into the region.
