Ayala Group stays on global ESG radar

Ayala Corp. (AC) and its core businesses have retained their place on the FTSE4Good Index Series, reinforcing their reputation among global investors for sustainability-driven growth.

“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,” AC President and CEO Cezar P. Consing said on Thursday. 

Ayala Corp., ACEN, Ayala Land Inc., Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), and Globe remain on the 2024 FTSE4Good Index, with Ayala Corp., Ayala Land, and BPI consistently included since 2015, Globe since 2016, and ACEN since 2023.

FTSE Russell, a subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange Group, reviews the index semi-annually. Companies are assessed on metrics such as corporate governance, health and safety, anti-corruption, and climate change.

The FTSE4Good Index is widely used by global investors to build and evaluate responsible investment products.

Backed by its ESG-aligned portfolio, the Ayala Group has attracted $6.2 billion in sustainable finance as of the end of 2024.
