Chinabank continues to be among the best-governed publicly listed companies in the Philippines, winning for the third year in a row the highest recognition for governance excellence, the Five-Golden Arrow Award of the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD).
Only five companies received ICD’s plum award this year, of which four are members of the SM Group: Chinabank, BDO, SM Investments and SM Prime Holdings. Chinabank is the only bank to win Five Golden Arrows for the third time.
This is a testament to its unwavering commitment to upholding the highest governance standards, according to Chief Finance Officer Patrick Cheng.
Chinabank is the country’s fourth largest private universal bank. For its beyond-compliance approach, Chinabank was named by ACMF in 2022 as one of the Top 20 in ASEAN and one of the Top 3 in the Philippines in corporate governance and as an ASEAN Asset Class.
