Background of the Indian Corporate Governance Scorecard
The Indian Corporate Governance Scorecard framework was developed through a collaborative effort involving the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), and IiAS. It is anchored in the G20/OECD Principles of Corporate Governance and has been in use since 2015. The assessment primarily covers companies listed in the BSE 100 index and is widely regarded as a benchmark for governance excellence across India.
This recognition not only highlights HDFC Life's adherence to robust governance practices but also reinforces its position as a leader in the financial services industry. The company's focus on ethical decision-making and stakeholder trust continues to drive its success in serving a vast customer base.
