In addition to scoring a record net profit and cementing its franchise throughout Asia, DBS was named by Global Finance as the "World's Best Bank" and ranked 29th globally in the "Top 100 Best Workplaces for Innovators" list.

It is the only Singapore-headquartered company to be featured on the list.

The bank has also continued making progress on the sustainability front, according to its 2022 sustainability report.

By the end of the year, the bank also reportedly achieves carbon neutrality in its own operations.
