The ACGS is an assessment based on publicly-available information and benchmarked against international best practices.  Through the years, the ACGS has been a driving force in underpinning good corporate governance practices among publicly-listed companies.

ACGS is based on the corporate governance principles of OECD, which include: Rights of Shareholders, Equitable Treatment of Shareholders, Role of Stakeholders, Disclosure and Transparency, and Responsibilities of the Board.

DMCI Holdings has been steadily enhancing its system of rules, practices and processes to balance the interests of its many stakeholders. It has also committed to adopting the ACGS as an assessment methodology.

In the last six years, our ACGS score has improved from 63.96 points in 2014 to 108.11 points in 2023, outpacing the average score for local conglomerates and top 100 publicly listed companies in the country based on market capitalization.

DMCI Holdings was recognized as one of the Top ASEAN Asset Class Publicly Listed Companies in the region in the recently held 2019 ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS) Awards.  The ASEAN Asset Class awards are companies who scored 97.5 points and above.  DMCI Holdings obtained a score of 100.70 points in the 2019 ACGS assessment.

The regional assessment was conducted in publicly listed companies in the six (6) participating ASEAN Member Countries namely: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

DMCI Holdings also received a 2-Golden and 3-Golden Arrow award during the Institute of Corporate Directors 2021 and 2022 ACGS Golden Arrow Recognition, respectively.

The Golden Arrow Recognition is awarded to Publicly Listed Companies (PLCs) and Insurance Companies (InsCos) in the Philippines that achieved the scores of at least 80 points in the  ACGS Assessment.
