Ayala Group extends FTSE4Good streak, reinforcing global ESG leadership

Ayala Corporation has secured its place in the FTSE4Good Index Series for the 12th consecutive year, reaffirming the Ayala Group’s commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) excellence and strengthening its position among companies recognized for responsible business practices.

The latest June 2026 review by global index provider FTSE Russell also retained Ayala’s key listed companies—ACEN, Ayala Land, Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), and Globe—in the globally recognized sustainability benchmark.

The FTSE4Good Index Series evaluates companies on ESG performance, including corporate governance, climate action, anti-corruption measures, and workplace health and safety. The index is widely used by investors and asset managers in assessing companies for responsible investment portfolios.

Ayala Corporation, Ayala Land, and BPI have remained part of the index since 2015, Globe since 2016, and ACEN since 2023, providing investors with an independent benchmark of the group’s sustainability performance across its diverse businesses.

“Our continued inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index Series affirms our belief that one does well by doing good. Our mantra must always be building businesses that support communities and enhance lives,” said Ayala Corporation President and CEO Cezar P. Consing.

Ayala Corporation Chief Social Infrastructure Officer Paolo F. Borromeo said the recognition reflects the group’s commitment to embedding sustainability into its long-term business strategy.

“Continued inclusion in FTSE4Good gives investors and partners a common reference point for how we put sustainability into practice. As we align our work in health, education, community development, and sustainability under social infrastructure, benchmarks such as this help reinforce our belief in the elements that are needed to deliver progress that is measurable and lasting,” Borromeo said.

The group’s ESG initiatives have also expanded its access to sustainable financing. As of the end of 2025, Ayala had secured approximately US$6.9 billion in sustainable financing. In May 2026, the company further strengthened its sustainable finance portfolio by signing a US$100 million sustainability-linked facility with DBS Bank Ltd., marking its first Singapore dollar-denominated hedged loan facility.

Ayala said these initiatives support its long-term strategy of creating sustainable value while contributing to national development through businesses spanning real estate, banking, telecommunications, renewable energy, healthcare, mobility, logistics, industrial technologies, education, and other sectors.

The group’s continued inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index Series underscores its efforts to align business growth with globally recognized sustainability standards while delivering long-term value for investors and the communities it serves
