Code of Corporate
Governance
This Code has been crafted pursuant to Insurance Commission
Circular Letter No. 13-2002, which declares that it is the “national
policy to institute corporate governance reforms in order to achieve
policyholder and market investor confidence; sustain the growth of
the insurance industry, thereby contributing to country’s economic
well-being; this Code of Corporate Governance is hereby promulgated
for adoption and compliance by all insurance companies and
intermediaries authorized to do business in the Philippines.”
The Code aims at defining the
responsibilities and accountabilities of the Board of Directors and
Officers of the National Reinsurance Corporation of the Philippines
(hereinafter referred to as the Company or Corporation). It is
the primary source of guidance on all aspects of governance
including statutory guidance under which the Company operates, and
sets the rules governing Board meetings.
The Code is designed to be an active,
flexible and practical document; thus, some information may be
duplicated between certain sections. This is to make changes
in the Code easier whenever some sections are modified, amended,
revised or updated as the need arises.
