As one of the most influential awards in the field of corporate governance in China, the Golden Board Award is organized by Board of Directors magazine, known as the "Premier Publication on Corporate Governance in China." The award has been held for 20 consecutive years. This year’s evaluation process spanned four months and covered over 5,400 listed companies in China. The selection involved four rigorous stages: preliminary evaluation, review by local listed company associations, media publicity, and final evaluation by a panel of experts. Focusing on governance innovation driven by new quality productive forces, the award’s evaluation system is built around six core dimensions: information disclosure, standardized operations, effective governance, market value management, performance, and shareholder returns. It is widely regarded as the "annual health check report" for listed companies, with its authority and credibility highly recognized by the capital market.
