The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. (PSE) took part in the global Ring the Bell for Climate campaign of the World Federation of Exchanges on November 11, 2025. The bell ringing activity, which runs alongside COP 30, highlights the critical role of exchanges in raising capital to address climate change and promote sustainable development.
COP30 is the 30th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
"PSE recognizes sustainable finance as a powerful tool for change. By directing capital into renewable energy, green infrastructure, and low-carbon technologies, we can help build an economy that not only withstands foreseeable disasters relating to climate, but also seizes the opportunities presented by the country's Nationally Determined Contributions in keeping with the Paris Agreement. With PST employees joined SEC Chairman Atty. Francis Ed. Lim, PSE President and CEO Ramon 5. Monzon, and PSE PSE's recent acquisition of the fixed income exchange this year, we Management Officers in the Ring the Bell for Climate program are now in a better position to promote sustainable finance and develop a more efficient market where equity and debt financing drive sustainable investments in the Philippine market. Thus, we invite more Philippine companies to take the leap and issue equities and bonds to fund your green initiatives," said PSE President and CEO Ramon S. Monzon in his welcome remarks during the bell ringing program.
In his keynote message, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Atty. Francis Ed. Lim said, "At the SEC, we are doing our part. With our partners in the Financial Sector Forum - the BSP, Insurance Commission, and PDIC - we launched the Sustainable Finance Taxonomy Guidelines, defining what truly counts as green. We've issued frameworks for green and sustainability-linked bonds, and through the Philippine Green Equity Guidelines the first in ASEAN we've shown that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand."
