The ranking evaluates companies based on employee satisfaction, revenue growth, and environmental, social, and governance performance.
“Being recognized by TIME and Statista among the Best Companies Asia-Pacific 2026 reflects our collective commitment with stakeholders to responsible growth, sustainability, and long-term value creation,” SM Investments Corp. president and CEO Frederic C. DyBuncio said in a statement.
The recognition reinforces SM’s regional standing and highlights the scale of its integrated businesses across key consumer and financial sectors.
SM operates major units that also appeared in the ranking, including BDO Unibank (47), China Banking Corp. (273), and property arm SM Prime Holdings (229), reflecting the group’s reach across banking, retail, and real estate.
