FDC, FILRT, and EastWest each earned two Golden Arrows, while FLI received one, underscoring the conglomerate’s seven-decade commitment to trust and integrity.
“This recognition reflects our collective effort to institutionalize strong governance practices in all aspects of our operations,” said Rhoda A. Huang, president and CEO of FDC.
The awards are based on the ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS), which measures shareholder rights, equitable treatment, stakeholder relations, transparency, and board accountability. ICD’s recognition confirms Filinvest’s alignment with international governance standards.
Accountability in banking and real estate
“Good governance shapes the way we lead, serve, and make decisions at EastWest. It ensures we remain anchored in integrity, accountability, and the trust our customers place in us. This shared commitment unites us with the broader Filinvest Group and reinforces our dedication to responsible, sustainable growth,” said Jerry G. Ngo, CEO of EastWest.
“At Filinvest Land, good governance means staying true to our purpose of building communities where Filipinos can live better lives,” said Tristan Las Marias, president and CEO of FLI.
Sustaining trust through transparency
“Earning the 2-Golden Arrow recognition from the Institute of Corporate Directors affirms FILRT’s continuing progress in advancing sound governance principles. It reflects our steadfast commitment to integrity, transparency, and accountability as we strengthen our REIT platform and uphold the Filinvest Group’s vision of sustainable growth,” said Maricel Brion-Lirio, president and CEO of FILRT.
FDC and FLI were recognized for the fourth consecutive year, while EastWest and FILRT celebrated their third straight win.
