Ayala Corp. and key subsidiaries ACEN Corp., Ayala Land Inc., Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), and Globe Telecom Inc. have maintained their inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index Series, reaffirming their commitment to robust environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.
The index, managed by FTSE Russell, a subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange Group, is a globally recognized benchmark for companies demonstrating leadership in sustainability and ESG performance. The FTSE4Good Index Series is reviewed semi-annually and is widely used to develop responsible investment funds and assess ESG-focused portfolios.
Ayala Corp., Ayala Land, and BPI have been on the index since 2015, Globe since 2016, and ACEN since 2023, reflecting long-standing adherence to global ESG standards. Ayala president and CEO Cezar P. Consing said the recognition underscores the group’s commitment to sustainable development, which he views as a critical component of national progress.
The group’s ESG-aligned practices have also enabled it to tap sustainable finance markets effectively. As of end-2024, Ayala has raised US$6.2 billion in sustainable finance transactions, further strengthening its commercial positioning among global institutional investors.
FTSE Russell assesses companies based on stringent ESG metrics, including corporate governance, anti-corruption, climate impact, and workplace safety, making Ayala’s continued inclusion a notable validation of its corporate stewardship.
