What the TRAC Ranking Represents
The TRAC (Transparency in Corporate Reporting Assessment) measures how openly companies disclose their governance structures, financial data, anti-corruption policies, and related-party transactions. High rankings reflect robust reporting, clear communication with stakeholders, and consistent compliance with governance standards.
By excelling in these areas, OGDC demonstrates that responsible disclosure is central to its business philosophy — reinforcing investor trust and strengthening its corporate reputation.
