SIA is Singapore’s sole entry in Fortune's Top 50 'most admired' firms

The carrier was the highest-ranked Asian company after Japan’s Toyota Motor.

Singapore Airlines placed 24th in Fortune’s 2026 World’s Most Admired Companies ranking, making it the only Singapore-based company to feature in the top 50.

The carrier was the highest-ranked Asian company after Japan’s Toyota Motor, which ranked 23rd.

Singapore-listed Wilmar International also appeared on the list but outside the top 50. The company ranked fourth within the global food production sector.

The ranking is based on a survey conducted by Korn Ferry, which assesses industries based on nine criteria, including investment value, quality of management and products, social responsibility, and ability to attract talent.

The top 10 companies in the ranking include Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, JPMorgan Chase, Berkshire Hathaway, Costco Wholesale, Alphabet, Walmart, and American Express.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
