KUALA LUMPUR: Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) has been recognised as the top Malaysian sovereign investor and ranked 17th globally in the 2025 GSR (Governance, Sustainability, and Resilience) Scoreboard published by United States-based research firm Global SWF. The GSR Scoreboard has become the measuring stick of best practices among state-owned investors around the world.

In a statement today, PNB said it received an overall score of 84 per cent, including a perfect 10 out of 10 for sustainability, in recognition of its climate targets, environmental, social and governance (ESG) integration, and transparency in reporting. "The ranking reflects the significant progress PNB has made in strengthening governance, embedding sustainability across its investment processes, and enhancing its long-term institutional resilience," it said. PNB deputy president and group chief executive Datuk Rick Ramli said the ranking reflects the fund's ongoing efforts to incorporate responsible and sustainable practices in its operations and investment activities. "It is also a strong encouragement for us to continue pushing for long-term value creation for our unit holders and the wider Malaysian economy, in line with PNB's purpose of uplifting the financial lives of Malaysians across generations," he said.

Global SWF Reevaluates Best Practices of Sovereign Investors; Nine Funds Demonstrate Excellence.
NEW YORK & SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Global SWF has published the sixth edition of its GSR (Governance, Sustainability, and Resilience) Scoreboard, which has become the measuring stick of best practices among State-Owned Investors around the world. The report is available on The annual exercise analyzes the world's 200 largest Sovereign Wealth Funds and Public Pension Funds, which manage US$ 29.4 trillion on behalf of 80 countries. The assessment is based on 25 different elements that are answered binarily based on public information only, and that this year led to the following results: The average GSR score of all funds stayed flat at 61%. Sustainability scores continue to rise, but the average Governance score slightly dropped due to transparency issues. Geopolitics and trade tensions are taking over from sustainability as key concerns of the C-suite at Sovereign Investors, some of which are turning more domestic, isolated, and opaque. Seven new institutions committed to net zero goals by certain timeline in the past 12 months – however, only 35% of the 200 Sovereign Investors are pursuing such targets. Regions showing best practices (North America, Europe and Oceania) continued to do better, while regions failing the GSR test (Latam, Middle East, Africa, and Asia) scored worse than last year. Dilhan Pillay Sandrasegara, Executive Director and CEO of Temasek Holdings, commented: ' We are honoured to receive this recognition as one of the top-scoring investors for the third year running. Global SWF's independent assessment to address key areas such as transparency and accountability, impact and responsible investing, and long-term survival is aligned to Temasek's focus on governance, sustainability and resilience. As stewards of our assets, Temasek will continue to focus on good governance practices and strengthen the resilience of our portfolio amidst the tumultuous uncertainties, geopolitics and trade tensions. We are encouraged by the consistent efforts of the Global SWF to encourage the sharing of best practices amongst our global peers, as we endeavour to contribute towards a more sustainable and resilient world for this and future generations.' Gordon J. Fyfe, CEO and CIO of BCI, stated: 'For 25 years, strong governance and responsible investing practices have underpinned BCI's approach – enabling us to deliver for our clients and create enduring value in British Columbia and beyond.
