ICTSI places great importance on robust corporate governance. We continue to uphold the principles and policies embodied in our Manual on Corporate Governance, which serves as the framework of rules, systems and processes that governs the performance of the ICTSI Board of Directors and Management. Following its adoption in 2013, and subsequent revision and submission to the Philippine government through the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2017, the Manual outlines the duties and responsibilities of the Board in overseeing the interests of all stakeholders. ICTSI continues to uphold such principles and policies, and employs them as guidance towards efficient and right decision-making.

 

Context and commitments

Our commitment to sustainability and good corporate governance forms part of our Good Global Citizenship strategy, which aims for our Group to refine our ESG approaches, policies and priorities and to improve our performance. We leverage our commitment to our various stakeholders through our continual efforts to enhance governance, strengthen our corporate policies and business resiliency, and drive our sustainability agenda forward alongside our risk management and mitigation approaches.

Groundwork
