SM Investments Corporation (SM Investments), the flagship holding company of the SM Group, has once again proven its leadership in corporate governance after receiving the 5 Golden Arrow Award from the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD) for the second consecutive year. The recognition represents the highest distinction given to publicly listed companies that exemplify integrity, accountability, and transparency in their governance practices.

The ICD 2025 Golden Arrow Awards honored the Philippines’ top-performing publicly listed companies, with SM Investments and SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime) both earning the coveted 5 Golden Arrow distinction. Other members of the SM Group—including BDO Unibank, China Banking Corporation, Belle Corporation, Atlas Consolidated Mining, APC Group, and Pacific Online Systems—were also recognized for their commitment to sound corporate governance.

Receiving this award for the second year in a row reflects the dedication of our Board, management, and employees across the SM Group,” said SM Investments Chairman Amando M. Tetangco, Jr. “It reinforces our collective commitment to sustaining a culture of integrity, accountability, and responsible stewardship.”

He added, “In an environment where trust and transparency are paramount, we continue to strengthen our governance culture. This award affirms our efforts to uphold open communication and ethical leadership in serving our stakeholders.”

The ICD’s ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS) assesses companies based on shareholder rights, equitable treatment, transparency, sustainability, and board accountability. SM Investments’ consistent top-tier performance highlights its enduring commitment to responsible business conduct—anchoring the group’s mission to foster sustainable, inclusive growth and long-term stakeholder value.
