Newly-appointed FGV president Datuk Zakaria Arshad says good corporate governance was critical to not only ensuring transparency in a company’s operations, but also guard against any negative perception of its image.
“This is to ensure the group’s image remains solid in the eyes of shareholders and investors,” he said in a speech at the Felda Group’s Corporate Governance Awards in Kuala Lumpur on Friday.
The text of his speech was made available via a statement to Bernama.
Zakaria said good corporate governance was critical to not only ensuring transparency in a company’s operations, but also guard against any negative perception of its image.
Meanwhile, FGV chairman Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad, who also Felda chairman, said the award was in line with the Corporate Integrity Pledge and Integrity Pact which FGV signed with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission on April 9, 2012.
The award is also to ensure FGV and Felda’s continued commitment toward a professional, transparent and efficient corporate governance for the benefit of stakeholders. – Bernama
