ICTSI places great importance on robust corporate governance. We continue to uphold the principles and policies embodied in our Manual on Corporate Governance, which serves as the framework of rules, systems and processes that governs the performance of the ICTSI Board of Directors and Management. Following its adoption in 2013, and subsequent revision and submission to the Philippine government through the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2017, the Manual outlines the duties and responsibilities of the Board in overseeing the interests of all stakeholders. ICTSI continues to uphold such principles and policies, and employs them as guidance towards efficient and right decision-making.
