"This recognition reinforces our collective commitment to sustaining a culture of integrity, accountability, and responsible stewardship,” he added.
The Golden Arrow Awards evaluate publicly listed firms on board effectiveness, shareholder rights, stakeholder engagement, and sustainability performance.
SM Prime Holdings Inc. also earned a 5 Golden Arrow, alongside other SM affiliates such as BDO Unibank, China Banking Corp., and Belle Corp. The repeat recognition signals that the SM Group’s governance standards remain among the strongest in the Philippines.
