A privilege
“Serving on the Board of Trustees of the UN Global Compact Network Philippines has been a privilege,” said Hontiveros-Malvar. “The experience reinforced the importance of collaboration among responsible businesses in advancing sustainability and inclusive growth. As our formal term concludes, our commitment to the UN Global Compact principles and the SDGs remains strong.”
As a participant in the UN Global Compact, AEV continues to integrate sustainability and responsible governance across its diversified portfolio in power, banking and financial services, infrastructure, food and beverage, and real estate—supporting the Aboitiz Group’s broader transformation into the Philippines’ first techglomerate.
Beyond its GCNP engagement, the Group continues to advance initiatives that support climate resilience, responsible supply chains, circular economy practices, and community development. Central to this commitment is CarbonPH, a science-driven and nature-based program to restore forest ecosystems, enhance biodiversity and secure vital water resources for communities.
Circular economy initiatives
The Group also advances circular economy initiatives by recycling retired electronic equipment to generate social value for Aboitiz Foundation.
The company emphasized that the partnerships and insights gained through its GCNP engagement will continue to inform its sustainability strategy and strengthen its contribution to responsible business leadership in the Philippines.
“The work continues,” Hontiveros-Malvar added.
