The Ayala Group has once again secured its place in the prestigious FTSE4Good Index Series, further strengthening its reputation among global investors for upholding top-tier Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards.
This latest recognition comes after the semi-annual review by FTSE Russell, a division of the London Stock Exchange Group that tracks global companies with strong ESG performance. Ayala Corporation, along with its major subsidiaries — Ayala Land Inc., ACEN, BPI, and Globe Telecom — all retained their spots on the index.
These Ayala units have shown consistent performance in sustainability over the years. Ayala Corporation, Ayala Land, and BPI have been part of the index since 2015, Globe since 2016, and ACEN joined the roster in 2023.
“Our inclusion in the index reflects the commitment of our whole group to sustainability. For a developing country like ours, sustainability means investing in a future where every Filipino can thrive. We want to be part of that future,” said Ayala Corporation President and CEO Cezar P. Consing.
Ayala’s robust ESG framework continues to attract global interest. By the end of 2024, the group had raised $6.2 billion through sustainable finance instruments — a testament to investor confidence in its responsible business practices.
The FTSE4Good Index Series evaluates companies on key sustainability criteria, including corporate governance, climate action, anti-corruption measures, and employee health and safety. Businesses that meet these stringent benchmarks are considered leaders in responsible investment.
With its unwavering focus on sustainability, Ayala continues to set the standard for corporate responsibility in the Philippines.
