They will be finalists selected from the total 700 listed businesses on the Ho Chi Minh and the Hanoi stock exchanges.

They will compete for best annual report, best corporate governance report and best sustainable development report.

According to the organisers and scoring unit, large-cap firms have performed well this year and mid-cap companies have made some improvements.

Some outstanding firms include brewer Sabeco, HDBank, PetroVietnam Drilling and Well Services, and retailer Digiworld. However, small-cap firms have shown little progress.

Last year, insurer Bao Viet was named in all three categories of best annual report, best sustainable development report and the best corporate governance report.
