Data Collection and Validation
In order to obtain the relevant data for this report, consultations were made with our business units on the financial, social, and operational topics that they deem most relevant to our business as an insurance company. Meanwhile, we engaged the services of SGV & Co. to audit our financial reports for the parent company, Insular Life, and the consolidated report of the Insular Group of Companies. Data are validated and processed by our Public Relations Staff. We have developed a basic reporting protocol and defined the requests for specific data in our collection tool to align the understanding of what data are required from our offices.
Reporting Criteria
For this report, we have aligned our disclosures in accordance with our commitment to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Our goal is to eventually adopt the Reporting Standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (www.globalreporting.org). We will continue to closely track our sustainability performance and lay the groundwork for seeking independent assurance in the near future to be aligned with global best practices on sustainability and integrated reporting. This report is pursuant to the standards of the ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS) as mandated by the Insurance Commission.
