DigiPlus strengthens ESG standards ahead of SEC-mandated reporting

DigiPlus Interactive Corp., the company behind popular gaming platforms BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone, has strengthened its economic, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics as it prepares for upcoming regulatory sustainability disclosure mandates.

In a news release on Thursday, DigiPlus said it officially released its 2025 Integrated Report which introduced the company’s refreshed corporate vision, mission, and values.

The report also details how the company integrated sustainability into its enterprise governance, strategy, risk management, and capital allocation across both its digital and land-based ecosystems.

To ensure global compliance, DigiPlus said it structured its ESG reporting around several major international frameworks, specifically adopting the Integrated Reporting (IR) Framework alongside the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards for Casino & Gaming and Internet Media & Services.

The company aligned its disclosures with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and the ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS).

The report likewise underscored DigiPlus’ sustainability governance structure.

The Board Corporate Governance Committee maintains oversight over all ESG matters, while a dedicated Sustainability Unit – operating under the Investor Relations, Corporate Communications, and Sustainability Department – executes the day-to-day enterprise strategy.

The company added that its sustainability framework is built upon six newly-defined ESG pillars, which include Good Governance, Customer Experience, Responsible Gaming, Employees and Workplace, Economic Impact, and Climate Risk Management.

DigiPlus said its report positions it to seamlessly meet stricter guidelines imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Under Memorandum Circular No. 16, companies are mandated to adopt the Philippine Financial Reporting Standards ahead of the 2026 reporting cycle. — JMA, GMA News
