The recognition reflects how sustainability and workforce metrics are increasingly shaping how large real estate platforms are assessed across Asia-Pacific.
“For property developers, the framework signals a broader shift in evaluation metrics—from a traditional focus on sales and expansion pipelines to the environmental performance and long-term resilience of large-scale developments,” Ayala Land said in a statement on Friday.
The ranking evaluates companies on financial performance, employee satisfaction and ESG transparency, pointing to a broader shift in how long-term corporate strength is measured.
It also underscores shifting expectations for property developers.
“The recognition of Philippine developers on the regional list comes amid rising global scrutiny of the real estate sector’s environmental footprint and governance standards,” Ayala Land said in a statement.
“As disclosure requirements tighten and occupiers prioritize greener, more integrated communities, developers are being measured not only on scale but on how effectively they embed sustainability across the lifecycle of their projects,” it added.
