481 firms lauded for doing good in 2026; businesses donated nearly $384 million over past 3 years

SINGAPORE – More than 480 companies here have been lauded for doing good and creating a positive impact in Singapore through activities like volunteering or donating so far in 2026.

Collectively, a total of 1,046 businesses have been recognised as Companies of Good by the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) over the past three years. Together, they have given nearly $384 million in donations, more than $85 million in donations in kind, and contributed more than 1.1 million volunteer hours.

Small and medium-sized enterprises formed the majority of companies in the 2026 cohort, numbering 376, up from 363 in 2025. The Company of Good movement, which recognises businesses that contribute meaningfully to society, marks its 10th anniversary in 2026.

The 2026 numbers were published in an impact report by NVPC on July 20, released at the Company of Good Conference and Conferment at Fairmont Singapore, where close to 700 business leaders gathered.

In a speech at the event, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong said that in a volatile world, expectations of companies are changing, and people are increasingly looking not only at what organisations achieve, but also at how they achieve it.

The Company of Good movement has evolved from encouraging corporate giving to a broader movement of organisations committed to creating positive impact, he added.

This includes how they hire, how they treat workers, how they operate and how they give back, he said.
