Maintained by FTSE Russell, a subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange Group, the FTSE4Good Index is a globally recognized benchmark for corporate sustainability and is reviewed semi-annually. It identifies companies with proven ESG performance across areas such as climate change, health and safety, anti-corruption, and corporate governance.
The 2025 roster includes Ayala Corp. and key subsidiaries: Ayala Land Inc., Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), Globe Telecom, and ACEN.
Ayala Land, BPI, and Ayala Corp. have been on the index since 2015, Globe since 2016, and ACEN since 2023.
“Our inclusion in the index reflects the commitment of our whole group to sustainability,” said Ayala Corp. president and CEO Cezar P. Consing. “For a developing country like ours, sustainability means investing in a future where every Filipino can thrive. We want to be part of that future.”
The Ayala Group’s robust ESG profile has attracted significant sustainable financing. By the end of 2024, the group had secured $6.2 billion in sustainable finance transactions from global investors.
The FTSE4Good Index Series is widely used by investors to develop and assess responsible investment products.
