The award is jointly presented by the Chamber of Hong Kong Listed Companies and the Centre for Corporate Governance and Financial Policy of the Hong Kong Baptist University.

Giordano has long believed that excellence in corporate governance forms the cornerstone of a responsible and successful enterprise. Over the years the company has instituted various measures to protect and advance the interest of various stakeholders, including:

In 1999, the company set up its Audit Committee, well before this was made mandatory in 2004.

In addition, since its inception the committee has comprised exclusively of Independent Non-executive Directors, surpassing the Recommended Best Practices of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong’s Code on Corporate Governance Practices.

The company set up its Compensation Committee in 2001 before this was made a requirement in 2005. Independent Non-executive Directors made up the majority of its members from inception.
