Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry, Mr Gan Kim Yong, attended the event as the guest of honour, conferring the Champion of Good recognition to 63 organisations. Designed around the principles of inclusivity and progression, the recognition system celebrates organisations at different stages of their journey, which include recipients of the Company of Good – 1 Heart, Company of Good – 2 Hearts, Company of Good – 3 Hearts, and Champion of Good. This year, 481 companies were conferred, comprising 63 Champions of Good, 113 Company of Good – 3 Hearts, 128 Company of Good – 2 Hearts, and 177 Company of Good – 1 Heart recipients. NCS exemplifies this progression, having advanced from a Company of Good – 3 Hearts recipient in 2025 to a Champion of Good in 2026. One such organisation was Shin Seiki, which is a Company of Good – 2 Hearts recipient this year.
