Insider Spotlight
The company earned three Golden Arrows at the 2024 ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS) Golden Arrow Awards, marking its third consecutive year as one of the Philippines’ top publicly listed firms recognized for governance excellence.
The recognition, given by the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD) in partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is based on a rigorous annual assessment of listed companies under the revised ACGS framework.
By the numbers
DMCI Holdings achieved an overall score of 97.85 out of 130 points, reflecting its consistent adherence to governance principles that emphasize transparency, accountability, and ethical leadership.
The company’s governance practices were evaluated under the updated G20/OECD Principles of Corporate Governance, which now include new indicators for sustainability and corporate resilience .
In a statement on Oct. 30, 2025, DMCI chair and president Isidro Consunji said the award represents more than recognition—it reinforces a governance culture embedded across the group.
“We are honored to be recognized once again by the Institute of Corporate Directors and the SEC,” he said. “This milestone reflects the discipline, transparency, and integrity that guide our management decisions and corporate culture. As the governance landscape evolves, we remain committed to building a more resilient, responsible, and sustainable DMCI Group.”
Between the lines
The new ACGS framework signals a shift in how corporate governance is measured—moving beyond compliance to reward companies that integrate sustainability and risk management into strategic planning.
For DMCI Holdings, the recognition validates its efforts to align governance practices with long-term value creation. As the only listed Philippine conglomerate with construction and engineering at its core, DMCI’s challenge now is to sustain this governance momentum while expanding across real estate, mining, power, water, and cement—sectors critical to national development.
Its consistent performance at the Golden Arrow Awards suggests that strong governance remains the group’s most durable asset in a changing corporate environment. — Daxim L. Lucas | Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
