Techglomerate bid’s anchor
“Sustainability is ultimately about stewardship. Businesses grow best when we take responsibility for the impact we create — on people, communities and the environment.”
“When that responsibility is embedded in governance and strategy, sustainability is more than an aspiration and becomes a way of doing business,” Hontiveros-Malvar said.
This philosophy has helped shape AEV’s transformation journey. As the Aboitiz Group pursues its ambition to become the country’s first techglomerate, sustainability has evolved from a supporting function into a guiding lens for how the organization navigates risk, creates value and prepares for what’s next.
And the results are beginning to tell that story.
In 2025, AEV ranked among the top three Philippine conglomerates in the S&P Global ESG Ratings, reflecting strong performance across key governance and social dimensions.
Based on the December 2025 S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment, the company’s ranking recognized its continued focus on corporate governance, business ethics and risk and crisis management.
The assessment also highlighted AEV’s efforts in human capital management and occupational health and safety, underscoring its commitment to developing talent, strengthening leadership and supporting employee well-being across its businesses.
Just as importantly, the company stood out for its transparency and data availability relative to industry peers, demonstrating a commitment to open, credible and responsible reporting.
