MANILA, Philippines — Ayala Corporation has been included in the FTSE4Good Index Series for the 12th consecutive year, reinforcing the Ayala Group’s standing in a global sustainability benchmark followed by investors and other stakeholders. Core businesses ACEN, Ayala Land, Bank of the Philippine Islands, and Globe also remain constituents after the June 2026 review.

Created by the global index and data provider FTSE Russell, the FTSE4Good Index Series is designed to measure the performance of companies demonstrating strong Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices. The FTSE4Good indexes are used by a wide variety of market participants to create and assess responsible investment funds and other products.

FTSE Russell evaluations are based on performance in areas such as Corporate Governance, Health & Safety, Anti-Corruption, and Climate Change. Businesses included in the FTSE4Good Index Series meet a variety of ESG criteria.

Ayala Corporation, Ayala Land, and BPI have been included in the FTSE4Good Index Series since 2015, Globe since 2016, and ACEN since 2023. Their continued inclusion gives investors and stakeholders an external reference point for the Ayala Group’s ESG practices across businesses that support national development.

“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 continued listing is relevant because it connects Ayala’s sustainability work with standards recognized by the market.

“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,” he said.

The Ayala Group’s sustainability practices and ESG-aligned portfolio have helped broaden access to sustainable financing from global investors. As of the end of 2025, the Group had secured approximately US$6.9 billion in sustainable financing. In May 2026, Ayala Corporation signed a US$100 million sustainability-linked facility with DBS Bank Ltd., its first Singapore dollar-denominated hedged loan facility.

These efforts support Ayala’s broader strategy to create long-term value while contributing to national development. Through businesses in real estate, banking, telecommunications, renewable energy, healthcare, mobility, logistics, industrial technologies, education, and other ventures, Ayala continues to build platforms that help address the country’s needs and enable more people to thrive.
