Globe has been recognized as one of the Top 50 Publicly Listed Companies (PLCs) in ASEAN and among the Top 5 PLCs in the Philippines for excellence in corporate governance. The awards underscore the company’s commitment to transparency, integrity, accountability, and ethical business conduct.
The accolades were presented at the 2025 ASEAN Corporate Governance Conference and Awards (CGCA) at the Four Seasons Hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
Globe chief compliance officer and senior vice president for legal and compliance Marisalve Ciocson-Co and assistant corporate secretary and head of corporate services Nina Mikaela Sarmiento-Tacandong represented the company.
Awardees were chosen from a pool of 569 large-cap PLCs across six ASEAN markets: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Globe’s strong performance reflects its robust governance framework, which supports operational integrity and long-term shareholder value creation.
“Good corporate governance is in Globe’s DNA. It’s fundamental to how we create value, not just for shareholders, but for our customers, employees, and communities,” Ciocson-Co said.
“We are deeply honored to be recognized by regional stakeholders and governance bodies for our consistent and principled approach to doing business,” she said.
“This recognition reinforces our belief that sound governance strengthens trust in our services, fuels sustainable growth, and positions Globe as a responsible corporate citizen in the region,” she said.
The ASEAN CGCA 2025 marked the culmination of the 2024 ACGS assessment, a flagship initiative under the ASEAN Capital Markets Forum (ACMF) with support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The 2024 assessment utilized a revised framework aligned with updated G20/OECD Principles of Corporate Governance, emphasizing sustainability, board effectiveness, stakeholder engagement, and transparency.
This year’s ASEAN CGCA was organized by Malaysia’s Minority Shareholders Watch Group (MSWG). The ceremony was officiated by YB Senator Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry Malaysia.
Alongside Globe, Ayala Corp. was also recognized as one of the Top 50 PLCs in ASEAN and Top 5 PLCs in the Philippines for corporate governance.
Globe’s governance practices are guided by its Manual of Corporate Governance and Code of Conduct. Both are aligned with international standards and designed to ensure transparency, integrity, fairness, and ethical leadership throughout the organization.
