Three SG firms enter 2025 Global 500 Family Business Index

Golden Agri-Resources Ltd. secured 204th place.

Three Singapore-based companies have secured spots in the 2025 EY and University of St. Gallen Global 500 Family Business Index.

Golden Agri-Resources Ltd. ranked 204th, reporting $13.13b (US$9.76b) in revenue and employing 101,000 people. Palm oil giant Musim Mas Group followed at 229th place, with $11.96b (US$8.90b) in revenue and 42,000 employees. Meanwhile, real estate developer Yanlord Land Group Ltd. secured the 327th spot, generating $8.25b (US$6.14b) in revenue with 12,000 employees.

The 500 companies featured in the index collectively generated $11.83t (US$8.8t) in revenue and employed 25.1 million people globally.

The index, published biennially since 2015, ranks the 500 largest family-controlled businesses by revenue. To qualify, companies must have substantial family voting control (50% or more, or at least 32% for publicly listed firms), generate revenue from financial information published within the last 24 months, and demonstrate trans-generational involvement or be over 50 years old. If a family controls multiple businesses, only the one with the highest revenue is featured.

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.
