Meralco prepared and adopted a Manual of Corporate Governance that embodies the principles and meets the standards of governance set by the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The manual adheres to the laws enfranchising the corporate existence and utility operations of the company. It represents a firm commitment to a framework of corporate and governance rules and principles that covers all aspects of our business. If any approach deviates from this manual, it is explained in the Compliance Officer’s annual certification of compliance to the SEC.

Specific documents like the Code of Ethics, Code of Employee Discipline, Safety Code, Policy on Subsidiary Management, Policy on Conflict of Interest and Guidelines on Board Committees were also developed and are being implemented in support of the principles embodied in the Manual of Corporate Governance. The policies, rules and principles contained herein build on Meralco's own standards and experience, whilst respecting the benchmarks set in the SEC.
