SM Investments Corp., SM Prime Holdings Inc. and BDO Unibank Inc. were cited in this year’s The Asset Platinum Excellence in Management and Corporate Governance Awards. 

This is the fourth year in a row that SM will receive the awards during a ceremony that will take place in Hong Kong next year.

The criteria used to assess the companies include a range of metrics of financial performance as a gauge of management acumen. The awards also recognize the importance of sustainable growth, with companies evaluated according to the quality of their corporate governance, social responsibility, environmental responsibility and investor relations. 

“We are honored and very grateful for this citation from The Asset Magazine. Having received this award for four years now affirms our long-term view commitment to sustainability and business excellence. Given the recent events related to the impact of the super typhoon, allow me to dedicate this award to the untiring efforts of the men and women of SM Foundation Inc., the volunteers and our partners who have immediately responded to the call for assistance and support,” SM president Harley Sy said.
