MANILA, Philippines. January 31, 2023 – The Jollibee Group was recently recognized by the ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS) Golden Arrow Awards, acknowledging the restaurant company’s progress in adopting more sustainable, responsible, and transparent business practices.

Organized by the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD), the ACGS aims to raise the corporate governance standards and practices of the country by recognizing companies that demonstrate observable conformance with the Philippine Code of Corporate Governance and internationally recommended corporate governance practices as espoused by the ACGS.

The recognition is through the Golden Arrow Awards, which measures a company’s performance in such areas as facilitating the rights and equitable treatment of shareholders, ensuring transparency through timely disclosure of material information, and monitoring how the board guides the company strategically and its accountability to its stakeholders.

“We are honored to be recognized by the ICD for good corporate governance, affirming our continuous efforts to strengthen our responsible business practices as an organization,” said Jollibee Group President & CEO Ernesto Tanmantiong. “We are inspired to work even harder in further integrating ESG strategies into our actions and decisions so we can keep on serving great-tasting food and bring the joy of eating to our customers sustainably.”

Tanmantiong leads an ESG Council within the Jollibee Group that was established to ensure alignment of business operations with the company’s Sustainability Agenda.

“We continue to grow in our sustainability journey and citations like the ACGS Golden Arrow Award validate our pursuit to do what is right for the company, our stakeholders, and the communities that we serve,” said Jollibee Group Sustainability and Public Affairs Officer Pepot Miñana Jr. “We share this recognition with all our teams and our business partners, and we will continue to collaborate with them in various aspects of our company’s sustainability.”
