Stockholders

BPI treats capital as a valuable asset and seeks to generate superior returns for its shareholders, while being prudent in risk-taking, spending, and investment. The Bank treats all its shareholders equitably and equally, whether they have majority or minority interest. 

Minority Stockholders

All stockholders are treated equally and are equally protected to the extent of their stockholdings.

The minority shareholders shall be granted the right to propose the holding of a meeting, and the right to propose items in the agenda of the meeting, provided the items are for legitimate business purposes.

In accordance with existing law and jurisprudence, minority shareholders shall have access to any and all information relating to matters for which the management is accountable, and to those relating to matters for which the management should include in the agenda of the meeting, provided always that this right of access is conditioned upon the requesting shareholder's having a legitimate purpose for such access.

Creditors

BPI treat our investors as strategic partners for growth, and we are accountable to them for our long-term, engaged capital. We put a premium on ensuring prompt, timely, and full disclosure to our investors, especially given the rapid evolution of the banking industry and the shifting structure of the financial markets.

The Bank’s policy on environmental responsibility starts from within, by adopting policies, standards, and practices to make the workplace not just a conducive environment for work, but also a place that works better for the environment. We have put in place a system of tracking the environmental impact of our places of business. We also encourage our clients, suppliers, and partners to reduce their environmental footprint.

Corporate Social Responsibility

We pride ourselves as a catalyst for social and environmental change.
