OREANDA-NEWS. DTEK, Ukraine’s largest energy company, was ranked first in the rating of Corporate Governance in Ukraine conducted by Concorde Capital among Eurobonds issuers.

 The primary goal of the research was to present a practical tool to help portfolio investors better understand corporate governance practices in Ukrainian companies in order to make more informant investment decisions.
