Integrated energy company Semirara Mining and Power Corporation (SMPC) has been recognized as a top performer in the 14th Institutional Investor Corporate Awards 2024, presented by Hong Kong-based Alpha Southeast Asia magazine.

The awards are based on a comprehensive poll of over 500 investors and analysts across Southeast Asia, United States and Europe, highlighting SMPC's exceptional performance in investor relations, corporate governance and overall management.

Based on the poll, SMPC emerged as one of the eight best-managed companies in the Philippines for having the Most Organised Investor Relations (4th place), Best Senior Management Investor Relations Support (4th place), Most Consistent Dividend Policy (3rd place) and Most Improved Investor Relations (sole winner).

“As a listed company, our goal is to create shareholder value and provide transparency in our operations and decision-making. These awards are a testament to our commitment to these principles. We thank all those who expressed their confidence in our company,” said SMPC President and COO Maria Cristina C. Gotianun.

The poll included fund managers with investment interests in Southeast Asia, large institutional investors, insurance companies, pension funds, funds of hedge funds, private banks, equity and fixed income brokers as well as buy and sell-side analysts.
