"*These qualities will continue to guide our path as we grow alongside the communities we serve, and create opportunities for generations to come,” ***added Cheah.**

Produced by Fortune and Great Place To Work®, the ranking draws on confidential feedback from more than 1.32 million employees across 10 Southeast Asian countries.

To qualify, companies must be Great Place To Work Certified™ and employ at least 200 people in the region. Employees assess their workplace through 60 statements and two open-ended questions covering trust, leadership, respect, fairness and pride.

Surveys must also meet distribution and response-rate thresholds to ensure a representative sample.

Beyond overall scores, the assessment evaluates how consistently positive experiences are shared across roles, seniority levels and demographic groups.

Rankings also take into account regional workforce size and the number of countries in which companies are certified and surveyed.

Sunway's people strategy is anchored in its core values and its **"Doing Well by Doing Good" **philosophy championed by Cheah.
