COVER SHEET - 2Go

The ATS website www.atsc.com.ph serves as the venue to release the results of business operations
that include the Annual Financial Report, Quarterly Analysts Briefing, SEC filings and PSE disclosures.
Information in the web provides equal access opportunity to all ATS stakeholders and the general
public.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
In the pursuit of the mission to become more responsible corporate citizens, efforts of ATS on
corporate social responsibility programs for 2010 were geared towards three (3) main areas:
education, social advocacy and environmental protection and rehabilitation.
CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT
The ATS Code of Business Conduct serves to guide employees actions aligned with the Company’s
corporate values. The Code consists of policies relating to ethical and legal standards of behaviour
that ATS expects of its employees. Its applicability extends to all the business units in the
organization. The Code explicitly states the corresponding disciplinary actions that include suspension
and termination for violations committed against company policies and the Code.
WHISTLEBLOWING
For several years now, ATS has given its employees the opportunity to access in good faith, thru its
intranet-based Bureaucracy site, key leaders in management when they observe unethical and
improper practices or any wrongful conduct in the organization.
Unethical and improper practices shall mean any act or manner of behaviour that does not conform to
the approved standard of social and professional behaviour covered in the company’s Code of Conduct.
Confidentiality of the whistleblower is maintained to the greatest extent possible to ensure, not just
the integrity of the employee and but of the intranet site as well.
A separate channel is open to employees who want to report observations related to unlawful and/or
criminal acts as well as health and safety violations that pose a threat to the well-being of an
employee or to the security and reputation of the business. T his channel is also available in the
corporate intranet as the Security, Safety and Compliance Office Incident Report System (IRS).
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE SCORECARD
While companies are not expressly mandated to comply with recommended best practices on
corporate governance, the “comply-or-explain” approach employed by the SEC and PSE through its
Corporate Governance scorecard and disclosures definitely exerted pressure for companies to comply.
For the past 4 years, ATS has participated in the assessment of corporate governance standards and
practices of publicly listed companies. This is an annual appraisal conducted by the Institute of
Corporate Directors in partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
ATS corporate governance scorecard has improved from its 70% rating in 2007 to 90.3% in 2009 or
from a second quartile ranking up to the Silver Category. The company is waiting for its 2010
scorecard.
The improvement is a testimony of the company’s unwavering pursuit of systemic corporate
governance reforms within the organization.
OUTLOOK
For any company, more so for publicly listed companies such as ATS, the practice of good corporate
governance is believed to bring about added shareholder value. Thus, there is a willingness to pay a
premium for well-governed companies.
