About governance

The cornerstone of the Bank's strength, sustainability and long term existence is corporate governance - the oversight mechanisms and the way in which BPI and its subsidiaries are governed. This encompasses how decisions are made and how the bank deals with various interests of, and relationships with, our many stakeholders - including shareholders, customers, regulators, employees, and the broader community - to ensure our accountability. We design our policies, processes, and work environment for accountability to shareholders and stakeholders, knowing that this is a crucial and key driver of high performance.

As one of the country's most trusted organizations, we maintain that trust by building on solid corporate governance foundations. We gauge our success not by our rank or size but by the trust we are given. And so we focus on skillfully creating value, generating strong returns, and prudently managing risks as we innovate our core bank business and the products and services we offer, so that we can provide the right solutions for our customers and markets, and promote greater financial inclusion.

We work closely and constructively with regulators, keenly aware of the value of transparency in such relationships. As a publicly listed company, we demonstrate transparency through robust corporate governance policies and practices, which are integral to the creation of a fair and sound market valuation for BPI shares and maintaining the confidence of customers, retail and institutional investors alike. We therefore strive to ensure better quality of disclosures beyond simply being compliant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Philippine Stock Exchange (“PSE”).
