At D.G.I. we have a strong corporate governance framework in place to align all our business fronts to best practices, internal processes and control, policies and procedures and ethical considerations.
The  core  principles  of  corporate  governance  drive  the  cornerstones  of  D.G.I.’s  governance  philosophy,  namely trusteeship,  transparency,  empowerment  and  accountability,  control  and  ethical  corporate  citizenship.  D.G.I. believes that the practice of each of these leads to the creation of the right corporate culture by which the company is managed.

Trusteeship
D.G.I. believes that organizations have both a social and economic purpose. They represent a coalition of interests, namely those  of  the  shareholders,  other  providers  of  capital,  business  associates  and  employees.  This belief therefore casts a responsibility of trust on the company’s Board of Directors. They are to act as trustees to protect and enhance shareholder value, as well as to ensure that the Company fulfils its obligations and responsibilities to its other stakeholders.

Transparency
D.G.I. believes that transparency means explaining company’s policies and actions to those it has responsibilities towards.
Therefore,  transparency  must  lead  to  appropriate  disclosures  without  jeopardizing  the  Company’s  strategic  interests.
Internally, transparency means openness in Company’s relationship with its employees, as well as the conduct of its business in a befitting manner. We believe transparency enhances accountability.

Empowerment and Accountability
D.G.I.  believes  that  empowerment  is  a process of  actualizing  the  potential  of  its  employees.  Empowerment  unleashes creativity  and  innovation  throughout  the  organization  by  truly  vesting  decision - making  powers  at  the  most  appropriate levels in the organizational hierarchy.

Control
D.G.I. believes  that  control  is  a  necessary  concomitant  of  its  second  core principle  of governance  that  the  freedom of management should be exercised within a framework of appropriate checks and balances. Control should prevent misuse of power, facilitate timely management response to change, and ensure that business risks are pre-emptively and effectively managed.

Ethical Corporate Citizenship
D.G.I.  believes  that  corporations  like  itself  have  a  responsibility  to  set  exemplary  standards  of  ethical  behavior,  both internally within the organization, as well as in their external relationship
