The significance of corporate governance stems from the fact that effective regulation and sound management of companies are considered fundamental factors in building trust in companies and in the economy at large. Corporate governance aims to enhance the efficiency of companies, most notably listed companies, by promoting principles of transparency, accountability, responsibility and fairness among various parties. Those principles are achieved by adopting, implementing  and complying with regulations pertaining to corporate governance.

The award started in 2010 with wide participation by the public companies listed on the MSM.
