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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
