Property firm Filinvest Development Corp. and its subsidiaries were recently recognized for their exemplary adherence to regional corporate governance practices at the Institute of Corporate Directors' annual ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard Golden Arrow Awards.
At the ACGS Golden Arrow Awards Night in Parañaque City on 28 September, holding company Filinvest Development Corp., or FDC, was honored with a 2-Golden Arrow Award, while Filinvest Land Inc.; Filinvest REIT Corp., the real estate investment trust of the Filinvest Group; and East West Banking Corp., its banking arm were honored with 1-Golden Arrow awards each.
"The recognition earned by various units of the Filinvest Group at the ACGS Golden Arrow Awards is a testament to our unwavering and collective commitment to corporate governance excellence. We believe that transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct are fundamental to building trust with our stakeholders as we gear up for sustainable growth in the years to come," Chiqui Huang, FDC president and CEO, said.
Seasoned leaders
FDC recently onboarded Huang, who joined in July 2023, and Ysmael Baysa, who joined in June 2023 as chief operating officer — both seasoned leaders in their respective industries.
Filinvest Land, on the other hand, is sustaining its bullish business stance as it accelerates the development of popular medium-rise building developments that are green and promote health and life technology, new mixed-use townships, and even vast industrial parks that will offer ready-built factory leasing.
FILRT, a company statement said, is focused on increasing office occupancy while embarking on a journey toward becoming an Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies champion, as six of its properties in Northgate Cyberzone, Filinvest City (a center of productivity in the Metro South) were formally recognized as EDGE-certified by the International Finance Corp. (a member of the World Bank Group) for their outstanding commitment to sustainability.
Meanwhile, with the positive coming from the past year, EastWest looks forward to a bright future as it continues to innovate its products and services to give customers an easier banking experience.
