For 2024, a total of 230 large and mid-sized companies were publicly evaluated. The results combined the "Comprehensive Win-Win Growth Evaluation" by the committee and the "Fair Trade Agreement Implementation Evaluation" by the Fair Trade Commission, dividing companies into five grades. This year's index evaluation classified companies as follows: ▲ 40 as Top Tier ▲ 70 as Excellent ▲ 80 as Good ▲ 28 as Average ▲ 12 as Insufficient. Six companies currently under review by the Fair Trade Commission for legal violations had their public announcement deferred.
