The Ayala Group has once again earned global recognition for its commitment to sustainability and responsible business, with Ayala Corporation securing its place in the FTSE4Good Index Series for the 12th consecutive year.
The latest inclusion underscores the conglomerate’s leadership in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices and strengthens its position among companies worldwide that meet internationally recognized sustainability standards. Joining Ayala Corporation in retaining their spots in the June 2026 review are its key subsidiaries—ACEN, Ayala Land, Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), and Globe.
Developed by global index and data provider FTSE Russell, the FTSE4Good Index Series evaluates companies based on their performance across a range of ESG criteria, including corporate governance, anti-corruption measures, climate change initiatives, and workplace health and safety. The index is widely used by investors and financial institutions to assess sustainable investment opportunities and develop responsible investment products.
Ayala Corporation, Ayala Land, and BPI have been included in the index since 2015, while Globe joined in 2016 and ACEN in 2023—highlighting the group’s long-standing commitment to embedding sustainability across its diverse business portfolio.
“Our continued inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index Series affirms our belief that one does well by doing good. Our mantra must always be building businesses that support communities and enhance lives,” said Ayala Corporation President and CEO Cezar P. Consing.
For Ayala, sustainability is not simply a corporate objective but a strategic driver of long-term value creation. The group’s ESG initiatives continue to resonate with global investors, helping unlock significant sustainable financing opportunities over the years.
As of end-2025, the Ayala Group has secured approximately US$6.9 billion in sustainable financing from global investors. Building on this momentum, Ayala Corporation signed its first Singapore dollar-denominated hedged sustainability-linked loan facility worth US$100 million with DBS Bank Ltd. in May 2026.
Ayala Corporation Chief Social Infrastructure Officer Paolo F. Borromeo emphasized that global benchmarks such as FTSE4Good play an important role in validating the group’s sustainability efforts and strengthening investor confidence.
“Continued inclusion in FTSE4Good gives investors and partners a common reference point for how we put sustainability into practice. As we align our work in health, education, community development, and sustainability under social infrastructure, benchmarks such as this help reinforce our belief in the elements that are needed to deliver progress that is measurable and lasting,” Borromeo said.
The Ayala Group’s sustainability agenda extends beyond compliance and reporting. Through its businesses spanning real estate, renewable energy, banking, telecommunications, healthcare, education, mobility, logistics, and industrial technologies, the conglomerate continues to invest in initiatives that address critical national priorities and improve the lives of Filipinos.
Its continued inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index Series reflects not only its ESG performance but also its broader mission of creating enduring value for stakeholders while contributing meaningfully to the country’s sustainable development.
As sustainability increasingly shapes investment decisions worldwide, Ayala’s consistent presence in the global ESG benchmark reinforces its role as one of the Philippines’ leading corporate champions of responsible and inclusive growth.
