THE EDGE BRC SECTORAL CORPORATE AWARDS

To be eligible for the corporate awards, a The Edge BRC member must have been listed at least four calendar years before the end-March cut-off date in the current year, as companies are evaluated for their financial performance over a three-year period.

The methodology for the corporate awards is both stringent and transparent with the results audited by Deloitte Malaysia. The data used in determining the companies that qualify for The Edge BRC membership and winners of The Edge BRC corporate awards is provided by AbsolutelyStocks.com.

Members eligible for the Highest Return on Equity Over Three Years and Highest Growth in Profit Before Tax Over Three Years awards must have been profitable every year throughout the evaluation period. For this year, the evaluation period is between FY2012 and FY2015.

Winners of The Edge BRC Highest Returns to Shareholders award, meanwhile, are judged on share price gains and dividends over a three-year period through March 31, 2016. This award is presented to The Edge BRC members with the highest compound returns to shareholders, comprising growth in share price and dividends received over the three years, adjusted for any rights/bonus issues, distribution of treasury shares, dividend in specie and capital repayment.

THE EDGE BRC BEST CR INITIATIVES AWARD

Eligible companies are judged by a panel of judges on their CR initiatives over a four-year period. The Edge BRC Best CR Initiatives award is presented to companies with the top average scores in three categories: the Super Big Cap category (companies with over RM40 billion market capitalisation), the Big Cap category (companies with RM10 billion to RM40 billion market capitalisation) and companies with less than RM10 billion market capitalisation.

The CR initiatives are judged by a panel selected by The Edge and evaluated based on the four focal areas according to Bursa Malaysia’s CSR Framework for Public Listed Companies, namely Community, Environment, Marketplace and Workplace.

CR scores account for 30% of the evaluation for The Edge BRC Company of the Year award.

THE EDGE BRC COMPANY OF THE YEAR AWARD

The Edge BRC Company of the Year award recognises the year’s best company based on the following factors:

Evaluation component	Weightage to overall score
QUANTITATIVE
Returns to shareholders over three years	20%
Growth in profit before tax over three years	30%
ROE over three years	20%
QUALITATIVE
Corporate responsibility initiatives	30%

The final decision on The Edge BRC Company of the Year takes into account other qualitative elements as determined by The Edge.

VALUE CREATOR: OUTSTANDING CEO OF MALAYSIA

The winner(s) of this award is determined by The Edge based on an assessment of the person’s contribution to value creation for his/her company. Here, value creation is reflected in the company’s market valuation, returns to shareholders and stakeholders, revenue and profit growth as well as employment creation. To be chosen, the CEO must have achieved outstanding success in all these areas. Assessment starts from when the person became CEO of the company. The Edge has absolute discretion on this exclusive award and can choose not to name a winner for the year, as was the case in 2011 and last year.

In 2010, the award went to Tan Sri Teh Hong Piow and Datuk Seri Nazir Razak for their outstanding contribution to their respective banking groups, Public Bank Bhd and CIMB Group Holdings Bhd.

In 2012, the recipients were AmBank Group founder and chairman Tan Sri Azman Hashim and AirAsia Bhd co-founder and group CEO Tan Sri Tony Fernandes. Azman, remains a financier for all seasons while Fernandes won for his role in transforming Asia’s aviation industry.

In 2013, the award went to Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Tan Sri Abdul Wahid Omar and Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin, former president and CEO of S P Setia Bhd. Abdul Wahid was recognised for his leadership during his tenure as CEO of Renong Bhd (2001 to 2004), Telekom Malaysia Bhd (2004 to 2008) and Malayan Banking Bhd (2008 to 2013) while Liew won for his contribution at S P Setia, a company he left in April 2015 (after about 18 years) for niche developer Eco World Development Holdings Bhd.

In 2014, the award went to Sunway Group founder and executive chairman Tan Sri Jeffrey Cheah and Axiata Group Bhd president and group CEO Tan Sri Jamaludin Ibrahim for having shown exemplary leadership in building businesses and creating value for all stakeholders.
